Spaceless violence: Women's experiences of technology-facilitated domestic violence in regional, rural and remote areas

Abstract

Technology is increasingly used by perpetrators of domestic violence to control, coerce, abuse, harass and stalk victim–survivors. Though ‘spaceless’—not bound by geography—there are particular ways that place and space shape the impacts of and risks associated with this violence. This paper examines the impact of technology-facilitated violence on victim–survivors of intimate partner violence in regional, rural or remote areas of Australia (New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland) who are socially or geographically isolated.
