“…She cautions against viewing individuals in simple terms as ‘resilient’ or ‘non-resilient’, because these trajectories may depend significantly on context. Similarly, Reyes et al (2020) point out that the norms of a person’s host culture can create particular risks as well as opportunities for resilience.…”

Background: Resilience has proved to be a versatile notion to explain why people are not defeated by hardship and adversity, yet so far, we know little of how it might apply to communities and cultures in low to middle income countries. Aim: This paper aims to explore the notion of resilience in cross-cultural context through considering the lived experience of internal migration. Methods: A sample of 30 participants with experience of migration was recruited from a low-income slum dwelling neighbourhood in the city of Pune, India. These individuals participated in biographical narrative interviews in which they were encouraged to talk about their experience of migration, their adaptation to life in their new environment and making new lives for themselves. Results: Participants referred to a variety of intra-individual and external factors that sustained their resilience, including acceptance of their circumstances, the importance of memory, hope for their children’s futures as well as kindness from family friends and community members and aspects of the physical environment which were conducive to an improvement in their lives. Conclusions: By analogy with the widely used term ‘idioms of distress’, we advocate attention to the locally nuanced and culturally inflected ‘idioms of resilience’ or ‘eudaemonic idioms’ which are of crucial importance as migration and movement become ever more prominent in discussions of human problems. The nature and extent of people’s coping abilities, their aspirations and strategies for tackling adversity, their idioms of resilience and eudaemonic repertoires merit attention so that services can genuinely support their adjustment and progress in their new-found circumstances.

“…Resilience throughout the life course enhances the ability to recover from adversity, thrive with a sustained purpose, and grow in a world of change, trauma, and chronic illness [14]. Resilience allows individuals to adapt to the wear and tear of living while coping with problems and crises in ways that leave them feeling stronger, and wiser than they would have been if they had not encountered those problems [15,16]. Furthermore, resilience is seen as both an intervention process and an outcome, while others consider resilience a trait or inborn capability, or as a more fluid attribute that comes into play as one equilibrates thinking, feeling, and behaving in an uncompassionate world [17,18].…”

“…For those petitioned to enter the United States by a spouse or family member, there is a sense of never ending “debt of gratitude.” They may be threatened with deportation or have added pressure from family who rely on the woman for financial support. For FilAm women given the strong influence of cultural norms on help-seeking, the decision to leave or escape from the abuser conflicts with family and collectivist interests (Reyes et al, 2020) and may keep the victim trapped in the relationship. It is important to understand these influences to help tailor community outreach and increase victim’s help-seeking behaviors (Kamimura et al, 2020).…”

This analysis explores interdisciplinary perspectives on the purview of lived experiences, intergenerational trauma, and cathartic expressions of Filipinx American (FilAm) women across various health sectors, positions, and journeys. The authors look to dissect the connections and effects of colonialism and health disparities among FilAm women and provide a decolonized roadmap to support this population. Highlighted are undiscussed determinants that plague FilAm women's health for generations, such as sexual and reproductive health, domestic violence, mental health, and cumulative effects of historical and systemic factors over time. These are unspoken perspectives into FilAm women's health herstories; these are our stories. What is the public significance of this article?There are about 4 million Filipinx Americans that make up the U.S. population and are often aggregated with other Asian American subgroups, rendering their historical and diasporic sociopolitical challenges invisible. Additionally, more than half of the Filipino population in the United States are women. This article explores the effects of colonialism, model minority myth, and the trauma on FilAm women's sexual and reproductive health and mental and physical health. The authors also provide interdisciplinary, trauma-informed approaches in overcoming racial and cultural fatigue to support FilAm women.
