| dc.description.notes | General Overview: :Over the past four decades, the key message of the domestic violence movement has been that domestic violence is common and affects women across ethnic and class lines. While this straightforward message continues to resonate strongly within the domestic violence movement itself and with the wider community, this article argues that it lacks nuance. The authors advocate re-framing the message in a way which more accurately accounts for the evidence around the impact of social divisions on women’s experiences of domestic violence, and, more specifically, the intersections of race, gender, class and disability.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: :The article begins with an exploration of social movements and frame theory. The authors trace the development of the feminist framework of domestic violence over time, arguing that while its key message has become increasingly accepted, it has also been subject to consistent attacks from the men’s movement.<br/ ><br/ >The middle section investigates the evidence around social divisions and their impact on women’s experiences of domestic violence. In exploring the link between prevalence of domestic violence and gender, the authors contend that greater attention needs to be paid to the empirical data around severity, including issues of frequency, injury and fear. They also suggest that the relationship between domestic violence, ethnicity and poverty, as well as the related issue of employment, requires further exploration.<br/ ><br/ >Finally, the article welcomes the recent shift towards a broader theory of gender-based violence, or violence against women. The authors propose that the adoption of this human rights framework will assist feminists to more accurately represent women’s diverse experiences of domestic violence. | en |
