Women become weak and hopeless when suffering as a victim of Intimate Partner Violence. They experience multiple adversities and conduct searches and struggles to be able to survive and escape from these adversities. Previous research has focused more on efforts to find things that involve domestic violence; however, this research focuses more on finding solutions for women as victims of Intimate Partner Violence. Research has been conducted with qualitative methods that aim to explore the dynamic of resilience on a woman who survives from Intimate Partner Violence. Research’s questions are being compiled based on the understandings about the personal construct and the process of resilience that involved the violence she suffered, thinking style, seven factors of abilities on resiliency, social support, and how the participant’s current life is decided as the main theme of the research (Theme Category) which will be divided into several detailed themes. General results of the research are as follows: (1) Participants experience three types of violence (2) Victims' rejection of violence based on their thinking style which means violence should not be tolerated. (3) Social support greatly influences the victim's ability to survive (4) Initially, participants did not get adequate social support which caused the victim's inability to rise again. When participants begin to receive social support, they continue to try to get out of violence. (5) Several active strategies to control or stop violence can be found in the results of the analysis of research data. (6) Inner strength comes from the behavior of faith in God and identity as a mother. (7) Positive results obtained in this life. Ultimately, these themes will contribute to the resilience model of Intimate Partner Violence. Research conclusions will be discussed based on relevant theory.

Abstract Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects 1 in 3 women around the world and is the 10th leading cause of death for women in the Africa region ages 15-29. Partner alcohol use, access to social support, and poverty all affect women’s likelihood of experiencing violence. We sought to understand how partner alcohol use differentially affected instrumental social support’s protective role against IPV for a clinic-based sample of women in the Kingdom of Eswatini (Swaziland).Methods We recruited 406 pregnant women from one rural and one urban antenatal clinic in Eswatini. Women used audio computer assisted self-interview software to answer a 45 minute behavioral survey with items on IPV, partner alcohol use, and likelihood that they could access small cash loans, large cash loans, or food loans from their social network. We then calculated the relative risk of experiencing IPV based on access to different forms of loans for the full sample and stratified by partner alcohol use.Results Confidence that she could access a fairly large loan (~$40) was associated with significantly decreased relative risk of IPV for all women. Confidence that she could access a fairly small loan (~$4) was associated with decreased relative risk of IPV for women whose partners did not drink but was insignificant for women whose partners did drink. Confidence that a friend or neighbor would lend her food was associated with decreased relative risk of IPV for women whose partners did drink.Conclusion Access to instrumental support (loans of food or money) is protective against IPV, but there are differential effects according to the type of loan and whether or not a woman’s partner drinks alcohol. Economic empowerment interventions to reduce IPV must be carefully tailored to ensure they are appropriate for a woman’s specific individual, relationship, and community context.

There is considerable research about women who have experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in the Canadian literature. However, most of these studies have focused on IPV among Canadian-born women. Immigrant women who make the decision to seek help for IPV have received less attention in the research-based literature in Canada. This qualitative study examined the IPV experiences of 10 Spanish-speaking immigrant women in Canada, all from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The main focus was to examine the intersectionality between social support and help seeking behaviours for IPV. Results indicated that Spanish-speaking immigrants in Canada utilized both formal and informal sources of support for IPV. The importance of continuous support as a factor preventing women from returning to an abusive relationship was consistently reported by participants. Implications of the study findings and directions for future research are further discussed in this manuscript.
