摘要: | 本研究以優勢觀點探討新住民女性如何透過社區參與達到培力,社會工作者在新住民女性的培力過程所扮演的角色,以及社會福利政策對新住民女性社區參與的影響。研究發現新住民女性參與社區活動的動機,包括封閉的社會網絡、社會大眾的歧視、學習中文的慾望及外在資源的吸引。新住民女性透過社區參與實現個人的熱望與目標、增加自信與能力、獲取資源並擴展社會網絡,而逐漸達成培力。社會工作者在新住民女性培力過程扮演支持者、訊息傳遞者及活動參與者的角色,並與新住民女性發展良好的夥伴關係。最後,社會福利政策雖漸重視新住民女性的勞動力訓練、中文課程的廣度與深度及人力資源的培訓,但維持基礎課程規劃可能限縮新住民的培力,活動場所的城鄉差距及宣導不足,也可能減少部分新住民女性進入社區參與的機會。
From the strengths perspective, this study investigates how new female immigrants achieve empowerment through community participation, the role of social workers during the empowerment process, and the influence of social welfare policies on the community participation of these women. The results showed that the motives for new female immigrants to participate in community activities include limited social networks, social discrimination, a desire to learn Chinese, and attraction of external resources. By participating in community activities, new female immigrants may achieve their personal aspirations and goals, enhance their confidence and capabilities, gain access to resources, expand their social networks, and gradually achieve empowerment. During this empowerment process, social workers develop strong partnerships with these women, and are their supporters, messengers, and companions. Finally, social welfare policies have emphasized the importance of workforce training for new female immigrants, the breadth and depth of Chinese classes, and human resources training. However, the maintenance of a basic curriculum limits new immigrant empowerment, and the rural-urban gap among areas for activities and inadequate advocacy reduces new female immigrants opportunities for community participation. |
