“…Four types of abuse perpetrated by health workers are generally discerned in the literature: neglect; verbal violence (including sarcasm, scolding, shouting, being ridiculed and intentional humiliation); physical violence (including more direct acts such as slapping and pinching and more indirect acts, such as rough physical handling, the denial of pain relief when technically indicated); and sexual violence (D'Oliviera et al, 2002;Jewkes, Abrahams & Mvo, 1998). In such a descriptive definition of abuse, the notion of hurting, humiliating, damaging or causing someone emotional or physical pain is present, whether this is done intentionally or unintentionally (Krane, 1996).…”

“…Existing research indicates the need for ''culturally competent'' social work practice in working with racially minoritized women experiencing violence in their relationships (Bent-Goodley, 2005;Kasturirangan et al, 2004;Krane, 1996). Many of the authors discuss specific strategies for applying the cultural competence model.…”

This paper presents an integrative approach to working with racially minoritized women who have experienced violence in their relationships. This approach incorporates feminist and intersectionality theories, and community development and participatory education models. A case study is included to demonstrate the application of this integrative approach into social work practice. The goal of this paper is to connect theory and practice, to move beyond the cultural competence model, and to apply an integrative approach for improved social work practice in working with racially minoritized women experiencing domestic violence. Keywords violence against women in relationships, racially minoritized women, integrative approach The domestic violence movement often names patriarchy and oppression of women as the causes of violence against women in relationships, while focusing primarily on the experiences of white women (Grossman & Lundy, 2007). As such, there is a need to further explore the realities of racially minoritized 1 women. Although all women experiencing violence in relationships encounter similar service barriers, women of color face a unique set of challenges to help-seeking (Kasturirangan, Krishnan, & Riger, 2004). In social work practice and antiviolence work, the cultural competence model is frequently applied when working with racially minoritized individuals and communities (Bent-Goodley, 2005; Kasturirangan et al., 2004). In this article, I will address the limitations of the cultural competence model. I will also put forth an integrative approach that considers the barriers and service needs of racially minoritized women in abusive relationships and demonstrate its application through a case study. This integrative approach incorporates intervention strategies informed by feminist and intersectionality theories, community development, and participatory education. My hope is that social workers will be more equipped to understand racially minoritized women's experiences of violence, strengthen service delivery, and promote social change in the domestic violence movement.

“…IPV is a multifaceted phenomenon that can manifest in a myriad of often co-occurring forms, including physical, verbal, and sexual behaviors. It occurs across all social, religious, and cultural contexts ( Krane, 1996 ; Ellsberg et al, 2015 ), with 30% of all women worldwide reporting having experienced physical or sexual forms of IPV during their lifetime ( Devries et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Although IPV continues to affect many women across the world, it is typically considered a private issue and often remains hidden from direct observation. Many affected women fear negative consequences when reporting experiences of partner violence ( Krane, 1996 ; Pournaghash-Tehrani, 2011 ). Stigmatization and victim-blaming due to socially embedded gender inequality and inadequate support systems seem also to hinder the reporting of IPV incidents ( Overstreet et al, 2019 ).…”

Toward a Contextually Valid Assessment of Partner Violence: Development and Psycho-Sociometric Evaluation of the Gendered Violence in Partnerships Scale (GVPS)

et al. 2021

This article presents a new measure for intimate partner violence (IPV), the Gendered Violence in Partnerships Scale (GVPS). The scale was developed in the Middle East with the aim to contribute to the global perspective on IPV by providing a contextual assessment tool for partner violence against women in violent-torn settings embedded in a patriarchal social structure. In an effort to generate a scale including IPV items relevant to the women of the population, a pragmatic step-wise procedure, with focus group discussions and expert panels, was performed. The study’s analyses resulted in an 18-item checklist featuring four subscales of the GVPS that are based on a new typology of male-to-female partner violence presenting an alternative to the commonly used classification by type of abuse (i.e., physical, psychological, sexual acts). Therein, dominating behaviors, existential threats, impulsive aggression, and aggravated physical assault were identified as reflective of the lived realities of women in the war-torn Middle East, which was confirmed in factor analysis. The scale’s psychometric properties were assessed with data from 1,009 displaced women in Iraq, and associations with measures of psychopathology were determined. Implications for IPV assessment and prevention possibilities in humanitarian contexts and beyond are discussed.
