Abstract:
This study explores the multi-generational female perspective on intimate partner violence (IPV) within Palestinian-Arab society in Israel, focusing on women who have experienced or been exposed to IPV. It examines how cultural, religious, and modernization processes influence women's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors across three generations. Using a qualitative interpretative phenomenological approach, 45 women from 15 three-generational Palestinian-Arab families participated in in-depth interviews. Findings reveal belief in God's righteousness and acceptance of one's violent fate, barriers to seeking help, the perception of feminism as a dangerous dream, and the winds of change. Modernization is visible in lifestyle, but changes in attitudes toward violence are slow.
