“…Intimate Partner Violence is associated with a number of harmful mental health effects such as: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, lowered self-esteem, low life-satisfaction levels, psychosomatic complaints, substance abuse, self-harm, and suicidal ideation (Murray and Powell 2009;Sarkar 2008;Bonomi et al 2006;Bacchus et al 2003). Intimate Partner Violence can also result in serious medical issues such as miscarriage, vaginal bleeding, pelvic inflammatory disease, and fetal injury or death from maternal trauma and premature birth (Clark et al 2008;Saltzman et al 2003).…”

The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of pregnant women disclosing Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and seeking help from Health Care Professionals (HCPs) at public Hospitals in Jordan. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 25 pregnant women. The findings revealed that the women were not satisfied with the care providers' procedures, responses, or follow-up. Women also preferred to discuss IPV issues with females, experts, and same age or older HCPs. Lack of privacy, continuity of care, time constraints, and barriers for disclosing were dominant themes that emerged from women's contacts with HCPs. Women felt more able to disclose IPV if they were confident that circumstances would be safe enough to do so. HCPs require specialized and structured training programs in IPV screening and case management.

“…Scholars have been examining national and state policies on domestic violence for decades, with particular focus on criminal justice and legislative frameworks (Murray & Powell 2009;Dobash & Dobash, 2004), gender and feminism (Phillips, 2006;Corvo & Johnson 2003;Abrar, Lovenduski & Margetts 2000;Mann, 2008), and batterer intervention programs (Feder & Wilson, 2005). Many of the studies dedicated to domestic violence policy investigation have done so using a comparative analysis involving two or more countries (Azis & Moussa, 2016;Chappell & Curtin, 2013;Corradi & Stöckl, Tastsoglou, & Abraham 2016;Franceschet, 2010).…”

“…One notable exception is recent work by Murray and Powell (2009) who critically examined policy on family violence in Indigenous communities in Australia. They demonstrate how discourse on violence in Indigenous communities has been changing over time with increasing attention to understanding the unique experiences of Indigenous women.…”

This study describes the level of government commitment in preventing domestic violence (DV) toward Indigenous women in countries of the Global North. Seventy-two government-endorsed DV prevention plans across 11 countries were analyzed. While more than half of the plans acknowledged Indigenous peoples, the main discourse reinforced a Western DV paradigm, reproduced negative stereotypes, and ignored systemic factors. Little consideration for intersectionality, the impact of colonization, or Indigenous worldviews was evident. Targeted prevention strategies were found but were disjointed and culturally inappropriate. Taken together, these findings suggest minimal government commitment and absence of cultural understanding regarding DV in Indigenous communities.

“…Violence experienced by women is also associated with a variety of psychological consequences: altered experiences of self, neglect of one's needs, loss of confidence in oneself and others, feelings of inferiority and shame, helplessness, inability to make decisions or manage one's own life (Smith, Thornton, Devellis, Earp, & Coker, 2002;Herman, 1996;Murray & Powell, 2009). The perceived threat or subjective evaluation of the victim of the partner abuse is shown to be the factor that most influences her behaviour and reactions to the traumatic event (Padejski & Biro, 2014).…”

Violence Against Women in Intimate Partner Relationships and Institutional Response to Women’s Needs

Although there are tendencies to portray women in partner relationships as physically equally aggressive as men, initiating violence, revenge, and using deadly force almost as much as men, men’s violence against women is more pernicious, characterized by more severe and frequent acts of greater range, manifestations, and with more severe consequences. It is therefore unjustified to speak of gender symmetry, and present this type of violence in gender-neutral terms. This paper provides an overview of the most important features of the observed phenomenon, focusing on psychological violence, which plays a key role in “breaking the resistance”, and in providing a “voluntary sacrifice”, i.e., coercive control, structural in nature and extending to all aspects of a woman’s life. Paradoxically, leaving a violent partner is a risk factor for violence and is considered to be potentially more dangerous than staying in a relationship. In the literature, help seeking and coping strategies used by women who have experienced violence are conceptualized in various ways, and research confirms that they depend on the features of violence and the resources available. It is shown that the crucial precondition for women who want to break out of the circle of violence and begin a new life is a fact that professionals understand the gender nature of violence, that effective social control of violent behaviour is established, that women are lent support through specialized independent programs over a longer period, which should be multidimensional and well synchronized, so as to include women, and take into account their needs, reinforcing their sense of security and space for action.
