  • Summary

  • Sensational headlines, fear campaigns and dehumanising language can be all that we hear about migrant and refugee communities settling in Australia. And too often migrant women are framed only as the mother of the children or the wife of the male refugee. But each one has her own story and reasons for travelling across the world to put down new roots in a strange land. On New Home, hear from migrant and refugee women who are quietly building new lives in regional Australia, making friends, and finding community.
