“…In this paper, we build on a growing body of scholarship centering these antiviolence service providers (Garcia et al, 2022;Lipp & Johnson, 2022;Murugan et al 2022;Renov et al, 2022;Shadik et al, 2023;Toros et al, 2023), highlighting the tensions of working in a sector positioned toward a public good-ameliorating and preventing violence-while facing increasingly risky, taxing, and boundary-pushing workplace conditions. Using insights from street-level bureaucracy theory (Lipsky, 2010;Maynard-Moody & Musheno, 2003), which intentionally foregrounds frontline workers, and critical explorations of work/home dynamics (Kumar & Makarova, 2008;Miranda-Nieto & Boccagni, 2020), we show how COVID-19 expanded and contracted public/private boundaries in antiviolence workers' daily experiences. Thus, this research adds to the extensive, necessary body of scholarship exploring violence against women under COVID-19 (Evans et al, 2020;Kofman & Garfin, 2020;Leslie & Wilson, 2020;Quinlan & Singh, 2020;Sorenson et al, 2021) from another angle.…”
