Intimate partner violence is a pervasive injustice that affects one in three women globally. Women experiencing intimate partner violence require immediate, compassionate and non-judgemental support, not only to prevent negative outcomes and aid in recovery but also to encourage functionality and resilience. However, maintaining equitable relationships during the support-seeking process poses challenges. Formal support can either validate or contribute to re-victimisation, thereby influencing the rectification or reinforcement of injustices. This article explores the experiences of women with disabilities seeking formal support relating to intimate partner violence, utilising an epistemic injustice lens. The focus is on formal support in Sweden, delivered by professionals in healthcare, social services, the police, women’s shelters, and the Centre against Violence (centrum mot våld). Employing reflexive thematic analysis guided by epistemic injustice as a theoretical framework, the results reveal instances of epistemic injustice. Participants expressed feelings of marginalisation, unheard voices, mistrust and misunderstanding within a formal support system they described as unintelligible and fragmented. Continuous scrutiny of the support-seeking process, coupled with improvements in the capacity of support providers and a re-evaluation of guidelines and procedures, becomes essential to promote inclusivity for women with disabilities, thereby contributing to the achieving of epistemic justice
