Publisher:	Southern Illinois University
Notes:	"This paper serves as an investigation into ways of helping improve the quality of life in women with disabilities who experience intimate partner violence. Women and girls with disabilities are more vulnerable to sexual abuse. Believability, repercussions of abuse, fear of abandonment, lack of another caregiver, communication barriers, accessible shelter and leaving children behind all are factors in the decision for a woman with disabilities to stay in an abusive relationship. Society has not met the needs of service delivery for women with disabilities who experience intimate partner violence. The intention of this paper is to review the current literature regarding program barriers, and to identify effective ways to improve the quality of life of women with disabilities who experience intimate partner violence."
