“…Qualitative Interpretive Meta-Synthesis (QIMS) is an emerging methodology in the field of qualitative social work research that utilizes a synergistic process to synthesize data from multiple qualitative studies in order to create a broader understanding of a topic. As such, only a handful of published articles are available utilizing this technique (e.g., Aguirre & Bolton 2013;Bowers 2013;Frank & Aguirre 2013;Maleku & Aguirre 2014;Nordberg, Crawford, Praetorius, & Hatcher, 2016;Robinson, Maxwell, & Rogers, 2020). This study followed the outline proposed by Aguirre and Bolton (2014) where they provided a detailed process of the development of the QIMS approach.…”

Runaway youth are at heightened risk for violence, substance use, suicide, and other high risk concerns. Qualitative studies have examined youth choices to leave home, involvement living on the streets, and lived experiences as stigmatized youth; however, findings from these various studies have never been analyzed together into a single synthesis of information. The purpose of this article is to synthesize the qualitative data using Qualitative Interpretative Meta-Synthesis. The researcher completed a systematic search to locate studies focused on girls who were or had been runaways, extracting themes from 10 articles to create new overarching themes that encompassed each of the articles. Results showed six new overarching themes: power/control, stigma, physical needs, safety, belonging, and acceptance. The themes of physical needs, safety, belonging, and acceptance are discussed using Maslow's hierarchy of needs paradigm. Together, the themes are constructed to discuss how helping professionals can be better prepared to help meet the myriad needs of runaway girls by utilizing the hierarchy of needs presented by Maslow. This research article provides a unique insight into working with a vulnerable population by weaving together the experiences and words of the individuals whose real-life narratives have shaped the discussion.

“…La violencia que sufren las mujeres en sus relaciones íntimas, además de producir daños físicos, genera consecuencias psicosociales importantes en sus vidas: trastorno de estrés post-traumático, depresión, baja autoestima, alcoholismo, drogadicción, abortos espontáneos, disfunción sexual, enfermedades de transmisión sexual, suicidio, por mencionar algunas (Glenn y Goodman, 2015;Heise et al, 1999;Hughes, 2017;Jonker et al, 2014;Jonker et al, 2015;Lako et al, 2018;Matheson et al, 2015;Robinson et al, 2019;Sullivan, 2018).…”

“…Indistintamente de las diversas formas en que se crean, financian y operan los refugios en diversos países, todos convergen en la idea de funcionar con una filosofía de empoderamiento cuyo postulado central es que las víctimas de violencia sean capaces de identificar sus necesidades, sus metas y lo que necesitan para satisfacer las mismas. También coinciden en ser espacios de interacción que den apertura a encuentros sociales nutritivos, ya que las mujeres al convivir con otras, reconocen similitudes y diferencias respecto a sus vivencias y coinciden en que las consecuencias de la violencia son devastadoras para su autoestima e identidad: sentimientos de tristeza, aislamiento, degradación y desesperación (Bowstead, 2019;Goldscheid et al, 2009;Gregory et al, 2017;Hughes, 2017;Matheson et al, 2015;Robinson et al, 2019;Wood, 2015).…”

El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar de qué forma un refugio del estado de Coahuila de Zaragoza contribuye a potenciar procesos de empoderamiento en mujeres que por ahí transitaron. Se utilizó un diseño cualitativo con un componente epistémico situado en una perspectiva feminista. Los datos se recopilaron a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas y observaciones participantes. Se realizó un análisis de contenido con ejes determinados en torno al empoderamiento Los resultados muestran que la institución facilitó procesos que impactaron socio cognoscitivamente en términos individuales: las participantes reconocieron los diferentes tipos de violencia que vivían e identificaron normas que promueven su ejercicio en el ámbito doméstico. Sin embargo, la visión y acciones del refugio para potenciar un empoderamiento que transforme las estructuras de género son limitadas. Se realizan algunas sugerencias para que este tipo de instituciones fortalezcan el empoderamiento de las mujeres desde una mirada feminista.

“…International literature shows women using refuges reported programs to be 'supportive' and 'effective' (Sullivan, 2016) where they received 'a holistic response, committed service and advocacy without prejudice or judgement' (Champion et al, 2009: 22). In the US, Israel, Canada and Korea, women reported refuges to be helpfulparticularly in relation to providing services and safetybut also disempowering if restrictions are placed on their decision-making capacity (Robinson et al, 2020). Few studies have examined the longterm impact of family violence services, but a study undertaken in Arizona applied a costbenefit analysis to a women's refuge and found that over a twelve-month period every dollar invested resulted in a fourfold saving in reduced suffering, health care, and other costs of family violence (Chanley et al, 2001).…”

While specialist women’s refuges have been central to responses to family violence since the 1970s, their work is under-researched. Little is known outside the family violence sector about the support they provide and how it assists women and children. There have been some critiques of their work but there is limited knowledge of the constraints women’s refuges face. Based on interviews and focus groups with 100 professional stakeholders and twenty-two service users, this article analyses the work of women’s refuges in the Australian state of Victoria in an effort to inform policy reform. The research found that refuges’ underpinning gendered analysis, focus on safety and support and advocacy to ensure women’s human rights are met have much to offer further developments in responding to family violence. In doing so, the article contributes to critical debates about the operation of refuges and the need for specialist family violence services.
