A Critical Examination of the Influences of Intimate Partner Violence, Help-Seeking, and Social Identity on Women’s Experiences Seeking and Obtaining Civil Protection Orders
This research describes women’s engagement with the civil legal system as a safety strategy when experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Using a critical lens, it explores how violence victimization, help-seeking, and social identities influence victim-survivors’ decisions to seek civil protection orders (POs) and whether they obtain them. Using cross-sectional survey methods, we recruited women experiencing IPV in relationships with men (N…
Advocates’ Perspectives of Structural Barriers Inhibiting Parental Access to Domestic Violence Civil Protection Orders
Advocates support diverse survivors through complex legal systems; this study explores their ( n = 20) perspectives on structural barriers in obtaining civil protection orders (POs). Using frameworks of structural intersectionality, access to justice, and access to safety, we identified three major structural barriers for parents seeking POs: limited childcare, transportation, and time. Findings elicit who struggles to access civil POs, why these…

Three themes of navigating protective precarity include (i) fathers ' rights versus survivors' safety ; (ii) constrained survivor agency , and (iii) systemic …

Our qualitative descriptive study explored GBV experienced by Haitian women along a continuum based on the setting in which GBV occurred: prior to the Haitian humanitarian crisis, during the humanitarian crisis, and upon migration to the USA. Our results highlight gendered sociocultural norms among Haitian women, and how the humanitarian crisis aggr…

Purpose This purpose of this article is to encourage the adoption of a theoretical model that centers the ways in which experiences of reproductive coercion and abuse (RCA) intersect with legal entrapment, gendered immobility, and adverse health consequences. This framework integrates disparate bodies of scholarship that have been neglected in prior examinations of RCA in order to provide a heuristic tool for research, practice, and policy. Metho…
