Battered Immigrant American Iranian Women

Paper Summary:

This paper explains the many abuses and violent events that occur toward the American Iranian woman in the process of daily living, immigration and assimilation into a foreign society. The author points out, in the literature review, the customs, which Iranian women are conditioned to in terms of their treatment and their validity as knowledgeable and capable human beings. The paper stresses that immigrant women specifically, those of the Muslim culture, undergo much in the way of abuse and injustice not only in their countries of origination but even more so in their immigration to the United States because the laws and regulations of the United States are not structured in a way that provides protection of the rights of women, who are victims of abuse as well as immigrant women with the many complicating factors of Islamic marriage. The paper includes two statistical tables and several long quotations.

From the Paper:

"In relation to access to credit, women of color are stated to be as innovative and entrepreneurial as any other group, they face lingering stereotypes and bias that often prevent them from receiving fair and equal access to the bank credit and capital necessary to start up new businesses. In a 1998 study by the National Foundation for Women Business Owners, findings state that less than one-third or 29 percent of women business owners, who are also women of color, surveyed presently have bank credit compared to over one-half or 53% of European American women."
