This article aims to explore if Taiwan's family violence victims' sheltering system works well on eliminating sexual discrimination, respecting social-cultrual pluralism, and hence contributes to break down the 'violence cycle' that exists in family violence cases after the passage of Family Violence Prevention Law 10 years ago. To this end, a reflective investigation into the practical experiences of a Hong Kong family violence victims' sheltering center becomes a vantage point. This article first explores the marco-level context of family violence victims supporting system in Hong Kong, including the governmental policies, integrated anti-violence service system, the organizational advantages of social service institutes. It then takes up with the center's core philosophy, integrated planning, and its specific client-centered service providing model. The finding of fieldwork is twofold. First, an eco-systemic view on the community social work and certain process innovations such as one-stop interface contribute positively both to the center's efficiency and the satisfaction of its clients. Second, the neo-liberalization of social welfare policies and cultural diversification pose a serious pressure for both Taiwan and Hong Kong family violence victims' shelters to adopt. |
