Notes:	In a domestic and family violence service system predicated on the view that the optimal outcome for victims is to separate from their abuser, women who remain with violent partners often experience significant barriers to support and assistance. This Thematic Review examines five key texts that challenge this conventional service response and encourage practitioners and policy makers to more realistically address issues for women living with violent partners. The authors of these texts critically examine the notion of 'choice' and question ways in which the service support system works to privilege those who separate from violent partners, over those who remain in their relationship. They suggest a new way forward, in developing supports for women in abusive relationships that promote their safety and empowerment. Common themes across these texts concern women's choice and agency, risk, protective strategies and reviewing practices and policies.
