Ageism, rape myths, and disgust
News media narrowly shapes how we understand and respond to sexual violence. Yet scholarship has focused on representations of younger women victims with limited attention given to older women. This omission is concerning considering the invisibilisation and underreporting of older women’s experiences of sexual violence within both community and institutional settings. Drawing on qualitative content analysis of 298 Australian news articles, utili…
Strengthening responses to sexual and/or intimate partner violence against women international students
Women international students face a high risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV), yet their experiences have largely been overlooked in responses to violence against women in higher education. These risks are emerging within an increasingly volatile landscape of international education, where tightening migration regimes, politicised public debates and unstable policy settings across major destination countries have exace…
A Shattered Dream
This study explores experiences and impacts of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV) for women international students. IPV/SV are common experiences for women in tertiary education, including for international students. Although researchers have identified that IPV/SV has traumatic impacts for domestic students, little is known about the experiences and consequences of IPV/SV for international students. To address this gap, thi…
Management of imposter participants when conducting online research with victim-survivors and perpetrators of violence
An increasingly common challenge facing researchers is participants falsifying their identity or their experiences to participate in online research. Imposter participants pose a threat to the integrity of research data, requiring careful risk mitigation strategies. In this case study report, we describe four projects across two institutions with victim-survivors and perpetrators of domestic, family and sexual violence in which we encountered imp…
Mothering in the Aftermath of Reproductive Coercion and Abuse
A partner's reproductive coercion and abuse (RCA) can significantly undermine women's physical health and psychological wellbeing. Yet little research has explored how RCA affects experiences of mothering and relationships with children. Based on an analysis of interviews with 30 Australian mothers, we found that RCA affected mothering in complex ways. Many struggled with feeling detached, resentful, and guilty toward their children, while some f…
Narrating the self-in-relation
Technology as a Weapon in Domestic Violence
Technology-facilitated domestic violence is an emerging issue for social workers and other service providers. The concept of Digital Coercive Control (DCC) is introduced to highlight the particular nature and impacts of technology-facilitated abuse in the context of domestic violence. While practitioners have become more adept at working with women experiencing DCC, there is still little known about its dynamics and whether this violence requires…
Family Violence in Domestic Homicides
This article examines the impact of legislative reforms enacted in 2005 in Victoria, Australia, on legal responses to women charged with murder for killing their intimate partner. The reforms provided for a broader understanding of the context of family violence to be considered in such cases, but we found little evidence of this in practice. This is partly attributable to persistent misconceptions among the legal profession about family violence…
