This study examines factors that facilitate or hinder the disclosure of intimate partner violence victimization, considering the type of interlocutor and adopting an ecological systems perspective. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed using data from 308 surveys of female university students in Spain. Findings indicate that disclosure is associated with variables such as type of violence, relationship duration, future expectations, and perceived patriarchal beliefs among friends. Conversely, personal values, lack of perceived social support, and power dynamics discourage disclosure. Overall, disclosure emerges as a complex, multifaceted process that begins with recognizing abuse and understanding how control and power shape relationships.

Jurisdictions throughout the USA have begun addressing backlogs of previously untested sexual assault kits. Based on new forensic DNA testing, decades-old cold cases are now being re-opened, and survivors are being asked to assist in the prosecution of both stranger- and nonstranger-perpetrated sexual assaults. We qualitatively interviewed N = 32 sexual assault survivors who participated in cold case prosecutions. We conducted a thematic analysis of survivors' narratives regarding how seeing their perpetrators in court years later affected them. This experience had layered meanings for participants, with themes emerging around the concepts of identification, re-experiencing, and intimidation.

This study examined the mediating and moderating roles of the sense of coherence (SOC) on the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and quality of life (QOL) in women with chronic diseases. Structural equation modeling was conducted on data from 400 women with chronic diseases. The moderating effect was not statistically significant. The mediating model indicates that SOC partially mediates the relationship between IPV and both mental (direct effect = -0.313; indirect effect = -0.147) and physical (direct effect = -0.258; indirect effect = -0.100) QOL. IPV, both directly and indirectly through a negative impact on SOC, reduces QOL among women with chronic diseases.

In Australia, domestic and family violence (DFV) has reached epidemic proportions. This research argues that it constitutes a form of terrorism, although the news media, governments, or public rarely refer to DFV in this way. This paper examines how Australian news media outlets-The Australian, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, The Sydney Morning Herald and The West Australian-reported on and at times connected DFV and terrorism, finding that DFV and terrorism were connected in several ways, and that DFV was described as terrorism by several academics, advocates, journalists, and victims. The research also found that the framing of each issue differed, subsequently affecting public perceptions of the perceived severity, impact, and pervasiveness of each issue.

Women often suffer abuse for many years before they turn to social services for victims and survivors of domestic violence (DV). This article examines the barriers that prevent women aged 50 and over from using these services. Adopting an intersectional approach, the article presents findings from a qualitative research project conducted in Germany. The findings suggest that services designed for DV victims and survivors in mind have not succeeded in eliminating these barriers to older women accessing the services. This calls for age sensitivity so that DV services can actually provide support to DV victims and survivors of all ages that they claim to offer.

This study explores the extent to which self-reported empowerment mediates the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and mental health symptomatology. Four forms of IPV-severe, harassment, psychological, and technology-facilitated IPV-and two mental health symptomatologies-depression and posttraumatic stress disorder-are examined. Data were collected from women who sought help from domestic violence service agencies in a U.S. Southwestern state. Results showed that all forms of IPV had both significant direct and indirect effects on mental health symptoms through empowerment, indicating that IPV is associated with increased mental health symptoms by, in part, diminishing one's empowerment levels. The findings underscore the importance of empowering survivors in the practice process.

Gender and intersectional data are recognized as vital to addressing gender-based violence. We engage this thesis through a case study of a gender data project at the Colombia-Venezuela border. Coming from an underexplored vantage point in the literature, we trouble the assumption that more data are always better for advancing feminist objectives around GBV. We advance the concept of "negotiated refusal" to make sense of the decision of the project's frontline implementers to collect less data. We argue that the complex character of inequalities and the dynamic nature of context requires flexibility in what gender and intersectional data should consist of and that top-down frameworks may ultimately prove counter-productive to gender equality efforts.

This study explores the rhetoric used by Andrew Tate, known as a 'misogyny influencer', and its impact on his followers. Tate released a vlog in response to his ban from social media. This vlog was analyzed along with his followers' comments (n = 300) on the video. Through hegemonic masculinity and social identity frameworks, we offer a thematic analysis of Tate's rhetoric. Results contribute to the growing body of literature on online manospheric communities and why followers may be drawn to Tate's leadership styles. Findings also extend literature regarding themes that may appear in other radicalized spaces.

Many immigrant women engaged in domestic work encounter precarious employment conditions characterized by uncertain contracts, often experiencing marginalization based on their racial identities. Through qualitative methods, including 23 in-depth interviews and interpretive analysis, this study aims to explore the structural and circumstantial violence embedded within the narratives of migrant women involved in caregiving and domestic work. These women report a spiral of structural violence influenced by classism, racism, and sexism perpetuated through the use of fear, abuse, and economic coercion. Such violence leads to systemic neglect, verbal and physical abuse, and continual humiliation, resulting in isolation. Immediate action is necessary to reform labor regulations and reshape care services, in order to address deeply ingrained inequalities and safeguard vulnerable women through administrative and labor reforms.

Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a global problem that affects approximately one in four women in their lifetime. An area of unexplored research is how women use a range of strategies to honor resistance, manage the risk, avoid abuse, and cope with the pain of DVA. Art-based methodology and interpretative phenomenological analysis approaches were used which determined seven strategies employed by women in order to survive DVA: apparent compliance; maintaining a sense of self; knowing boundaries; keeping hope in sight; imagining freedom; degrees of rebellion; and denial. This created a conceptual model for understanding DVA survivorship (The SEED Model).
