Abstract:
Existing research indicates that disabled women are subjected to intimate partner abuse (IPA) at a higher rate than their majority population peers. This article presents in-depth qualitative findings of research on six disabled women's stories of IPA from Ireland. Six cross-cutting themes are presented, emergent from qualitative thematic analysis. These are, respectively, Physical violence and disability; Coercive control and disability; Economic abuse and disability; Sexual abuse and disability; Stalking and disability; and Support to exit the relationship. Critical insights into facilitators of, and barriers to help-seeking and accessing support are translated into clear recommendations for future policy and practice.
