“…It is imperative that DV service providers and victims be educated about these technology-related dangers by IT professionals who know how to protect against these risks. Finn and Atkinson (2009) provide empirical support for this approach. They conducted an intervention study of the Technology Safety Project of the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence-a program in which IT professionals known as ''Tech Advocates'' instructed a group of DV service providers and victims about technology safety and help seeking through IT.…”

“…They conducted an intervention study of the Technology Safety Project of the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence-a program in which IT professionals known as ''Tech Advocates'' instructed a group of DV service providers and victims about technology safety and help seeking through IT. The authors reported that most participants had been harassed in some way using technology and that most viewed using computers as a way to establish their independence (Finn & Atkinson, 2009). Additionally, most participants in Finn and Atkinson's study reported high rates of satisfaction with the program and increased confidence in keeping their personal information safe online.…”

There is growing recognition of the need to better understand the intersections between the work of domestic violence service providers and technology. Professionals who work with clients impacted by domestic violence are increasingly using technologies across different aspects of their work, including communicating with other professionals and seeking information and resources via the Internet. The current study used qualitative data from two sources-individual interviews and two focus groups-to learn about domestic violence service providers' needs and perceptions related to technology use. The results provide insights about technologies used currently, expected benefits of future technological advances, barriers to using technology, and participants' self-rated levels of comfort with technology.

“…En este trabajo se adopta el marco heteronormativo patriarcal para analizar las agresiones contra las mujeres y contra homosexuales y transexuales, así como contra personas heterosexuales que se apartan de los cánones establecidos (Arisó & Mérida, 2010;Finn & Atkinson 2009;Southworth, Dawson, Fraser & Tucker, 2005;SpenceDiehl, 2003). El patriarcado ejerce unas imposiciones sobre el género, establece cómo deben actuar las personas, comportarse y pensar según el género al que pertenecen.…”

The shelter movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina was born out of a tradition of assisting survivors of gender-based violence in the early 1990s during the Bosnian conflict. To date, nine shelters are in existence providing emergency shelter and services to survivors. Little is known about these shelters, or the clients these shelters serve. The purpose of this study is to examine what services are provided to domestic violence survivors by shelters in Bosnia-Herzegovina and who these survivors are. A total of 43 service providers from all existing shelters within the country were surveyed about shelter characteristics, client demographics, and services provided. Findings revealed that the typical Bosnian shelter had been in operation for 11 years and had assisted 64 survivors in the previous year; the majority of whom were married females with minor children who had sought shelter services before. Core services were provided by the majority of shelters, including crisis services, legal and medical advocacy, counseling, and community education. While services were provided to a diverse group of survivors (e.g., children, elderly women, victims of human trafficking), shelters were less likely to be available for male and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender survivors. Implications from these findings, as well as limitations and suggestions for further research, are discussed.
