I just added some new links, which are associated with immigrant and community, into my blogroll list. I think they are worthy to know. you may want to have a look on them and leave me your comment about that.

• if you are an immigrant, you may want to have a look at the Australian governmental website-”Department of Immigration and Citizenship“- It provides brief introduction about life in Australia and useful information regards settle in Australia for all new arrivals, including skilled migrants, family migrants, refugees and humanitarian entrants. Information are divided into sections and are conveyed to audiences in a step by step manner, which i think is very easy understood and educational.
• if you are woman, you may want to know about the associations that are dealing immigrant woman issues , such as “Immigrant woman’s speakour association” and “Immigrant woman’s support service” . -These two websites cover the issues immigrant woman are concerning about and the problems they are having and provide the solutions and ways to gain help from professions. Projects and events for immigrant woman are also listed to educate the community members how to build and protect the community.

From above websites, you may notice that “the lack of language ability” is one of the key factors that make immigrants to have a difficult living in Australia. And immigrant woman is a community that needs more protections and cares, as they have weak strength in Australian society, which isn English spoken and male-dominated society.

 ”Australia is a multicultural society but one which is male-dominated  and has structural inequalities which perpetuate the disadvantages  experienced by certain groups of people.”quoted from IWSS.

“Women of non-English speaking backgrounds can be amongst the most disadvantaged in society: through experiencing a double power imbalance  as women in a male-dominated society and as members of the non-dominant cultural group. “  quoted from IWSS.

However, after research, I think I would focus on the community “immigrant woman” and maybe have a topic like “immigrant woman at workplace” for the project to discuss the difficulty immigrant woman may encounter at workplace, , their lifestyle and values.

The reason I choose this topic is mainly because  I am belong to this community ,so I would like to discover more on this topic. And it is also because I think it would be good if I could actually share some useful resource for people who may need to know about the ways to gain help through my project.

….is this topic is still too broad??? ……..”too broad…too bored???..”

..is this also the night you see?
