This report derives from a conference convened by the Family Violence Prevention Fund, in San Francisco, in February 2003. The conference brought together six domestic violence organizations focusing on minority populations, to explore how to improve services to battered women and their children who are involved with the child welfare system, and what can be done to prevent more battered women and their children from becoming involved in the child welfare system. This report describes the dialogues and ensuing recommendations made at this conference–discussions informed by the projects that each organization had conducted on these two issues. Data presented in the report are based on the findings from the individual projects conducted by the six partner organizations, and the conference between these project teams. The report begins by providing profiles of the six partner organizations: the Asian and Pacific Islander Institute on Domestic Violence; INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence; Institute on Domestic Violence in the African American Community; National Latino Alliance for the Elimination of Domestic Violence (Alianza); National Network to End Violence Against Immigrant Women; and the Women of Color Network. The methodology of the project is then explained, and background information is given on the issues surrounding minority communities and the child welfare and domestic violence systems. The over-representation of minority children in the child welfare system is noted, and the overlapping of domestic violence and child welfare services is discussed. Dialogues are summarized and recommendations are made in the following areas: addressing discrimination and improving systems; contextualizing culture and increasing competency; engaging communities; enhancing leadership of women of color; and holistic approaches to helping families. Summaries of individual projects from the six organizations are then provided.
