Violences en contexte conjugal et stratégies de protection adoptées par les femmes
Intimate partner violence can take different forms (physical, sexual, verbal psychological and economic). They may change in frequency and intensity over time. Various strategies can be used to deal with such violence. The present study examines the protection strategies adopted by 75 women who experienced at least one form of intimate partner violence within a window period of three years. Data were collected during face-to-face interviews using closed-ended questions and life history calendars. The aim is to present a portrait of the strategies implemented by victims to minimize revictimization. When the dynamics of the events are not taken into consideration, the results suggest a relative effectiveness of the measures used.
