Using Participatory Visual Methods in Feminist Research on Gender-Based Violence
In this article, we reflect on the processes of engaging with participatory visual methods in the context of two feminist research projects on gender-based violence (GBV): a digital storytelling project with migrant survivors in Norway and a photovoice project on sexual violence prevention with emerging adults in Türkiye. Despite the previously highlighted benefits of participatory visual methods as accessible, inclusive, empowering, and transfor…
Tracing individual experiences to systemic challenges
This study examines the experiences of migrant women survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) in Canada, focusing on their processes of disclosing violence and seeking help. It explores a range of migration-related factors and circumstances that shape migrant women's responses to violence while also aiming to reveal how migration contexts determine system-and structural-level responses to GBV, which are then traced back to women's individual expe…
Examining Technology Use in the Lives of Women Experiencing and Escaping Intimate Partner Violence
This study offers survivor-centered understandings of the relationship between intimate partner violence and digital technologies. Ten women survivors and 16 practitioners were interviewed individually. The study revealed that technology use was often ambiguous and frustrating, shaped by both perpetrators' digital control and broader social and digital inequalities. The analysis also demonstrated a crucial transition from disconnection to engagem…
Barriers to Help-Seeking for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)
Objective Intimate partner violence (IPV) constitutes a pervasive global public health issue that impacts victims across all gender identities and sexual orientations. Nevertheless, victims of IPV within the queer community may face specific challenges related to their gender and sexual identity when seeking assistance, and they may have limited pathways for obtaining help. We therefore explore how queer individuals in Norway experience and make …
Mapping Practitioners' Perspectives on the Interaction of Intimate Partner Violence and Digital Inequalities in Norway's Digital Transformation Context
Conceptualising TechViolence Nexus
This short communication is based on a qualitative study investigating the relationship between digital technologies and gender-based violence (GBV). The term, TechViolence Nexus , introduced in this article, offers an in-depth understanding of the cyclic interaction between digital coercive control and (socio)digital inequalities. It highlights the ambiguities created by technologies in victim-survivors’ lives, revealing the ways in which digita…
Prevalence & Correlates of Intimate Partner Violence During Covid-19
Online disclosure, a mechanism for seeking informal justice
Recent scholarship considers digital platforms’ potential to serve as sites for feminist counter-spaces. ‘Speaking out’ or disclosing gender-based violence online allows survivors to give voice to their experiences and create a political arena for seeking informal forms of justice. What is significant in these instances is not a shift away from formal justice mechanisms but how the alternative ones take a survivor-focused approach to meet their n…
Disclosing gender-based violence online
The withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention (in March 2021) and the high prevalence of gender-based violence reflect the current patriarchal political atmosphere in Turkey. Such backlash occurred despite the strong feminist resistance and transnational support to combat anti-gender developments. In this political climate, online disclosures of gender-based violence have become critical in shaping public debates about violence against women in Tur…
Seeking safety from male partner violence in Turkey
Women's stay/leave decision-making in violent relationships has become a subject of investigation in psychology over the last few decades. Despite making significant contributions to the understanding of how women's psychological processes shape their responses to violence, much of this research has lacked a contextualized approach. The present study aimed to provide a feminist context-informed examination of women's decision-making and safety-se…
