Abstract

Abstract. Domestic violence against women by their partners is a form of gender-based violence, and it has been recognized as a major social issue worldwide. Under the framework of feminist empowerment theory, we investigated the experiences and coping behaviors of 15 abused women from northern Greece during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. We conducted a qualitative study, utilizing in-depth interviews that were analyzed via content analysis. Our findings highlight the women's coping strategies, such as raising consciousness, being more aware of the situation, establishing safety plans, increasing self-confidence, and eventually reclaiming control of their lives. Our study allows educators, researchers, policy makers, and other women to learn lessons about dealing with violence in times of crisis, and for social welfare professionals to become more effective in meeting the needs of women in similar situations in the future.

COVID-19大流行期间的家庭暴力

摘要伴侣对妇女的家庭暴力是基于性别的暴力的一种形式，已成为世界范围内公认的一个重大社会问题。在女权主义赋权理论的框架下，我们调查了希腊北部15名受虐妇女在新冠肺炎危机中的经历和应对行为。我们进行了定性研究，利用深度访谈，通过内容分析进行分析。我们的研究结果强调了女性的应对策略，比如提高意识，更加了解情况，建立安全计划，增加自信，最终重新掌控自己的生活。我们的研究为教育工作者、研究人员、政策制定者和其他妇女提供了在危机时刻处理暴力的经验教训，也为社会福利专业人员在未来更有效地满足处于类似情况的妇女的需求提供了帮助。
