| dc.description.notes | A qualitative US study which examines the strategies battered women use to resist the dominant ‘cultural script’ which directs them to stay away from their abuser. Argues that resistance strategies undertaken by women such as staying with abuser, ignoring/lifting restraining orders and refusing to call or co operate with police are active, reasoned choices made in response to factors such as fear of/and harassment by their partner, complex everyday life issues (children and finances) and an emotional connection with their partner. Baker asserts that the ‘script’ for battered women is too narrow, not taking into account the complexities with which they are confronted and too often failing to provide adequate assistance to women attempting to navigate the system. She calls for policy makers to recognise that battered women are exercising agency, acknowledge the lives and decisions of individual women, and provide coordinated institutional responses. | en |
