Abstract
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."

Abstract
The paper outlines the success stories of eight Iranian women who, despite the oppressive policy of the Iranian regime directed against women, became leaders and pioneers in their fields. The paper looks at Professor of English literature, Azar Nafisi Nafisi; progressive Iranian woman author, Shahrnush Parsipur; 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Shirin Ebadi; leading politician, Masoumeh Ebtekar; Olympic participant, Manijeh Kazemi; vice-president of Iran's Olympic Committee, Faezeh Hashemi; NASA scientist Azadeh Tabazadeh; and Iranian-born actress, Shohreh Aghdashloo.
From the Paper
"Equally as impressive as having a woman in the Olympic games from Iran, are the efforts being made by the country?s Olympic Committee?s vice president. Faezeh Hashemi encourages young girls to practice sports such as volleyball and running. This is a great step forward for Iranian women. However, for each step forward in Iran, there seems to be two steps back. Hashemi, was brash enough to start a newspaper for Iranian women?s sports. It was shut down. She also won a seat in parliament only to be soon removed from that seat (Wolff, 2000). Hashemi once again proves that great ideas rise from oppression. However, all too often those dreams are smashed before they come into fruition."

Abstract
This paper examines battered women syndrome (BWS), women who serve indeterminate life sentences for killing a spouse or intimate partner that was abusing them. It provides a history of BWS, looks at the 'types' of batterings that lead to this syndrome such as physical and sexual and evaluates parole in the state of California by reviewing recent events. It analyzes various cases of women who are eligible for parole, but are not paroled. The paper leans toward the side of battered women who have served their sentences and should be granted parole.
From the Paper
"There are many elements to Battered Women's Syndrome, which makes the definition of this phenomenon broad and complex. The predominant types of battering that lead to this syndrome are physical, sexual, and psychological battering (NVADV). Battering may include emotional abuse, economic abuse, sexual abuse, using children, threats, using male privilege, intimidation, isolation, and a variety of other behaviors used to maintain fear, intimidation and power. The California Board of Prison Terms defines BWS as a series of common characteristics that appear in women who are physically and/or psychologically abused, over an extended period of time, by a dominant male figure in their lives (BPT). In all cultures, the perpetrators are most commonly the men of the family."

Abstract
Several eminent authors have composed various masterpieces or performed intensive research on the bittersweet experiences, as well as the treatment of immigrant women in Canada. This paper discusses a particular group - the Chinese and the Hong Kong women who settled in Canada. Firstly, this paper provides an account of the progress of the immigration policies in Canada since its origin until today and its effects on the entryway of Chinese immigrant women in Canada. The paper then presents the effect of standardized policies regarding race and sex on Chinese immigrant women. Lastly, this report looks into the institutional processes, including employment and unemployment as well as the organizational processes including the relationships between family members, child care, household chores and social life which affected the lives of skilled Chinese women who migrated from China and Hong Kong and are settled in Canada.
From the Paper
"Such processes are the cause of ?social injustice? (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant) within a society. Following is the account of effects of institutionalized processes in employment that is based on two surveys including married women immigrants from Hong Kong as well as China. These two studies show that most women moved to Canada with their husbands under the independent class or as business immigrants (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant). These women worked back home on the basis of their individual degrees and were considered highly skilled workers but when they moved to Canada, they were not eligible for the Canadian experience requirement and as a result they were unable to work. Some of the women, who did manage to seek employment, were either underpaid or were rejected. The Canadian women irrespective of their qualifications were given preference over the Chinese immigrant women."

Abstract
The paper discusses the theory of Naila Kabeer who researched Bangladeshi women home workers and maintained that these women did not exercise their own preference in their work choice. Kabeer explains that they were influenced by male domination, which in turn was impacted by societal discrimination. The paper shows that the patterns of employment and labor of immigrant women in the USA and in Sweden lend corroboration to this theory. The paper demonstrates how immigrant women face multiple levels of discrimination, most notably sexist and racist prejudice.
From the Paper
"As noted above, Kabeer has pointed out that most Bangladeshi woman in London work in the clothing industry from home, while their husbands mainly work in the clothing industry in sweatshops and factories. Kabeer researched the reason for this, and found that the Bangladeshi women's "choice" to work at home is only partly their own preference, and that it is greatly influenced by male domination and other factors. She situates this domination within the context of the racist situation in which the entire family lives."

Abstract
This paper deals with the global phenomenon of violence against women, explaining it is the result of gender conflicts and inequality in socio-cultural interactions between men and women. The paper provides various sources of information and statistics of women who have suffered physical, psychological and emotional abuse.
From the Paper
"According to Duffy, "historically and cross-culturally, there is considerable evidence that, particularly in the family women have been targeted for victimization" (128). Furthermore, all women are subject to violence regardless of their age, color, race, religion, class or social status. In particular women experience violence at home from their partners and other family members. According to Nelson, "Intimate violence is actual or threatened acts of violence committed against persons by their current or former spouses, common-law partners, girlfriends or boyfriends" (306). Battered women experience physical and psychological abuse directed at them by men as a means of control and intimidation. Duffy cites a Statistics Canada information "that more than one quarter (29&) of ever-married women experience violence at the hands of a current or part marital partner" (132) and that "more than one third of the victims of wife abuse were subjected to such serious abuse that they feared for their lives" (132). Many women experience constant or frequent abuse. Battering "typically progresses from a relatively low level of violence to a level that is more frequent and severe" (Sorenson & Wiebe, 1416). According to Sorenson and Wiebe, "more than 1.5 million physical or sexual assaults are committed by current or former intimate partners each year in the USA" (1412). However, abuse can take many forms, including physical, sexual, physiological and emotional."

Abstract
The paper is composed of two sub-essays dealing with the experience of Canadian women in Canada, relating to its settlement. The first question deals with the question of racialization and the creation of the other, both with negative and valorized stereotypes. The second question answers a broad course question regarding the background of Terra Nullius to the readings.
From the Paper
"There are various structural reasons behind the emergence of racism. It is a process that combines a variety of factors such as an inherent human ethnocentrism, fear of the other and economic structures, to name a few. As Frantz Fanon pointed out, racialization and the creation of the Other is a complementary process. As much as people are the products of their environments, they also create them. The oppressor and the oppressed ultimately both adopt the identities that are given to them, and contribute to shaping the system they are a part of."

Abstract
A look at the legal response to domestic violence as well as the law enforcements attitude to this problems. It examines possible solutions that may improve the way these agencies handle domestic violence cases. Part II provides legal definitions of domestic violence, Part III explains the usual dynamics of this form of violence.

Part VI examines police officer's attitude to domestic violence and Part VII looks at the criminal justice system and domestic violence. The paper concludes with suggestions for improvement in this dealing with this crime.
From the Paper
"Domestic violence is one of the most serious, yet least understood problems facing our nation today. This issue is especially troubling because of the unusual dynamics associated with domestic violence; unlike other crimes such as carjacking, random violence, and robbery where the offender and victim are usually strangers, battered women are often highly dependent on their partners for economic support and may be reluctant to leave out of fear or love. Another reason why domestic violence is so troubling is the lack of effective intervention and knowledge that exists among members of the criminal justice system, law enforcement, and public. The attitude that ?domestic violence is a family matter, not a crime? which has long existed in society has contributed to this lack of knowledge and is one of the reasons why domestic violence still remains a largely ?hidden? problem. Finally, the limited number of economic resources and shelters which are available to battered women also contributes to this problem; women who finally gather the courage and strength needed to leave their batterer may be forced to remain in the abusive situation or to return because the shelters are full or because they may be unable to find a job."

Abstract
This paper questions when, why and how female victims of domestic abuse elect whether or not to leave an abusive relationship. The writer presents a three-stage cycle of a domestic-violent relationship and examines research in the field of why women choose to remain in such a situation. It examines financial concerns, fear of losing independence, fear of breaking up families and fears for their general safety.
From the Paper
"A battered woman is faced with repeated acts of violence by her intimate partner (IP), who is can be a husband, boyfriend, or former spouse (Help for the. . ., 2000). Such abuse may be physical, sexual, and/or psychological, and can lead to serious physical or psychological damage and, in some instance, even to death. Over one-third of all female murder victims are killed by their male partners, a statistic indicative of the degree to which domestic violence has become commonplace in American society (Help for the. . ., 2000).
