突破受暴婦女的就業困境──準備性職場服務經驗的研究

Eliminating Employment Obstacles for Female Victims of Domestic Violence: A Study of Semi-Workplace Support Services

家庭暴力之受暴經驗對於婦女再就業有著嚴重的不良影響。本研究的目的是探討：準備性就業方案如何協助婦女逐漸脫離受暴經驗後的不良影響，並一步步穩定就業的過程。透過質性研究，針對勵馨基金會的準備性婦女就業培力計畫，訪談四位曾參與準備性職場之受暴婦女，及方案執行者三位（包含一位就業社工及兩位督導），以深入瞭解方案執行之過程，及受暴婦女與服務提供者的主觀經驗為何。研究結果發現，透過此方案之資源連結，就業社工得以依據婦女的狀況連結服務資源，包含職能治療師、婦保社工、居住資源等。另外，藉由準職場的工作環境，就業社工長期了解婦女就業困境，並共同討論就業議題，婦女彼此間也可以相互給予支持，形成心理上的重要資源。最後，探討執行面的挑戰與目前的因應方式，並針對受暴婦女就業服務提出建議。 Experiences of domestic violence negatively affect female victims interms of their re-entry into the job market.
