新移民女性配偶的增加，對台灣產生相當重大衝擊且形成社會不同面貌。本研究並非突顯面臨問題的新移民姐妹，而是採取多元觀點來呈現新移民的生存價值及正向意義。本研究係以高雄縣市和屏東縣為例，應用深度訪談的研究方法，深入探討台灣新移民女性配偶「社會參與」相關議題，並分析其「充權」的可能性及能動性。本研究發現，台灣新移民女性配偶「社會參與」的發展及執行模式，有賴新移民姐妹「非正式網絡」的支持，以及新移民服務工作者為促進其「社會參與」的使力及充權。茲綜合結論：（一）「非正式支持網絡」是新移民女性配偶社會參與的關鍵；（二）「社會參與」是新移民女性配偶充權的途徑；（三）新移民女性配偶的服務能量；（四）新移民女性配偶「充權」發展與歷程的階段性差異。本文建議，應朝向積極且多元價值的取向，一方面建構新移民公共領域的參與權，另一方面正視新移民姐妹的聲音及需求，從服務使用者角度出發，接納差異，尊重多元，充權與使能，讓服務使用者能成為另一個新移民服務的「提供者」。 There are different types of cultures with increasing of new immigrant female spouses to bring lots of impacts on Taiwan.
