The discussion will address the unique challenges faced by international students and temporary visa holders, including legal protections and support services. Your visa status should never determine how you are treated in a relationship. Domestic violence and sexual assault can lead to devastating consequences — from homelessness and financial insecurity to mental health trauma, social isolation, and disrupted education or visa stability. This panel explores these intersecting impacts through both legal and mental health perspectives, equipping students to recognise the signs, understand protections, and support others.
