“Ari was the main provider in the family and she was also raising children. We hope this goes some way to breaking down the stereotypes of Asian migrant women,” Ellen said.
She said that ultimately, the aim of the project was to shed new light on the little-recognised issues of DFV within the Korean diasporic communities.
“We wanted to make the digital resources available to the public for free to be used as training and educational materials,” Ellen said.
“And we want to continue with this. We are using the arts to convey these messages but we also want to emphasise the importance of cross-sector collaboration on this issue,” she said.
