These data underscore the critical need for healthcare provider education and training in understanding, recognizing, and treating brain injuries in fem...

Addressing Economic Abuse in Intimate-partner Violence Interventions: A Bacchian Analysis of Responsibility
ConclusionsWe argue that most interventions individualise the prevention of and recovery from economic abuse, promoting women ’s self-improvement through financial literacy, economic empowerment, and education as responses to economic violence, rather than making male perpetrators accountable for the harm they cause. This gap in existing interventions reveals an opportunity for financial and government institutions to ac t through transformative structural reform that disrupts – rather than responds to – male perpetration of economic abuse.

Family abuse targeting queer family members: An argument to address problems of visibility in local services and civic life
ConclusionsFamily abuse targeting queer folk is a significant problem and under-recognised. This is in part due to the mainstream domestic abuse sector associating family abuse with racially minoritised and/or faith communities and particular forms of violence such as “honour” abuse, forced marriage and female genital mutilation. Family abuse victimising queer folk is relatively invisible despite profound social, mental and physical health impacts. Practitioners in this study describe a lack of confidence, skills and knowledge about their practice responses t o queer folk which needs to be addressed through training. H...

Social Support Seeking Among Women Victims of Intimate Partner Violence: A Qualitative Analysis of Lived Experiences
ConclusionsResults indicated a strong association between emotions (e.g., fear of dying) and physical and psychological aggression.

Women tended to seek more support when the violence increased, and they perceived a greater risk to their children. There was an association between suffering violence, power, control, and seeking formal and informal social support. Results have significant implications to interrupt coercive control processes and to motivate help seeking behav...
