Additionally, male victims may not disclose abuse because of the stigma associated with victimization as being un-masculine (Turrell et al., 2002) Again, these misperceptions stem from the myth that IPV is a heteronormative expression of sexism and not a gender neutral construct of power and domination (Allen, 2007). Barriers to services.…

    FINDINGS The twelve participants all described the violence and abuse they had experienced and the analysis of their accounts identified four major themes: Commonalities and contradictions in the experience of abuse; how women lived with abuse; the response of systems reinforced or challenged the abuse; dealing with the abuse beyond the relationship. Some participants believed that initial incidents of abuse and violence were isolated and that abuse would not be a frequent feature of their relationships. Factors maintaining the relationship included the perpetrator's contrition, promises that the abuse would not happen again and, in some cases, denial that the abuse had occurred. Participants outlined various kinds of abuse which included emotional abuse and intimidation, isolation from others, exerting financial control and making threats and acts of violence against participants, their children, families and pets.…
