The UNHCR estimated that by 2021, 82.4 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced due to persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations or events seriously disturbing public order. One of the most vulnerable groups fleeing Ukraine is unaccompanied children. Children without a primary caregiver are at a heightened risk of violence, abuse and exploitation. When these children are moved across borders, the risks are multiplied. The risk of trafficking also soars in emergencies. We know that displaced persons are vulnerable to human trafficking. Human trafficking can happen to anyone but some people are more vulnerable than others. Significant risk factors include displacement (such as is happening in Ukraine), recent migration or relocation, substance use, mental health concerns, involvement with the child welfare system and being a runaway or homeless youth. Often, traffickers identify and leverage their victims’ vulnerabilities in order to create dependency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bad0d20c41a44cfdf38cfc/1646887294978-0RFTPGD3PNFKOSIRXDGG/ARC+-+Ukraine%2C+2022.++Photo+by+Jerome+Starkey.jpg Blog - The plight of refugees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bad0d20c41a44cfdf38cfc/1646887294773-CDPCPNUZ0I9GT676KCKD/ARC+-+Ukraine%2C+2022.+Photo+by+Jerome+Starkey.jpg Blog - The plight of refugees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bad0d20c41a44cfdf38cfc/1646887408297-52SJLTK4JPSDBRR4D1ZB/ARC+Ltd+-+Refugees%2C+mostly+women+and+children%2C+board+train+going+west+from+Zaporizhzhya+in+eastern+Ukraine+to+escape+the+Russian+advance%2C+Sturday%2C+March+5%2C+2022.+Fighting+aged+men+from+18+to+60+are+not+allowed+to+leave+the+country.+.jpg Blog - The plight of refugees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bad0d20c41a44cfdf38cfc/1646887623698-9MCHRP8UJIKSMPRLPYDQ/ARC+Ltd+-+Hundreds+of+thousands+demonstrate+in+Berlin+against+attack+on+Ukraine.jpg Blog - The plight of refugees https://www.actionresearchcentre.org.au/blog/arc-inaugural-conference-2022 monthly 0.5 2022-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bad0d20c41a44cfdf38cfc/91d4fa69-177d-47a0-b427-4cd342d4621b/ARC+Inaugural+Conference+2022.jpg Blog - Action Research Centre Inaugural Conference Action Research Centre Ltd is proud to host "Women and their Experiences of Domestic and Family Violence within culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities."

It requires multi-disciplinary approaches to arrive at outcomes that would resonate with the contextual experiences in the community. Traditionally, several individuals have drawn a dichotomy between evidence-based research and advocacy as plausible approaches to social change. On the one hand, they relegate the role of advocacy to not-for-profit organisations, on the other hand, they reduce the task of producing evidence-based research to academics in the universities. Action Research Centre bridges this gap. We engage in both evidence-based research as well as advocacy through partnerships. We are convinced that the research that is worth doing is that which takes the community experience as a starting point to reflect critically with the intention to catalyse social change. We use the tools of critical reflection, advocacy, community awareness and policy dialogue to create strategic intervention so as to reduce the level and impacts of family and domestic violence, reduce the risk of homelessness, and build a resilient and inclusive community. https://www.actionresearchcentre.org.au/blog/domestic-violence-in-australia monthly 0.5 2022-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bad0d20c41a44cfdf38cfc/1640267066693-4MYPRUKKKBQERPIOID6M/ARC-children-and-domestic-violence.jpg Blog - What do we know about Domestic Violence in Australia?
