Re-Examining Intimate Partner Violence: Feminist Social Work Reflections by Meenu Anand, Gunjan Chandhok

“…Offering an insight into and questioning the concomitant edifices of violence inherent within the intimate marital relationships, the authors put forth arguments to interrogate the unique factors that impact women's experiences and understandings of the abuse and demonstrate how gendered discourses function to polarize women's sexuality. The authors argue that violence both stems from and perpetuates gender differences and disparities and embodies lived experience where one can see the ubiquity and reproduction of male dominated gender relations (Wendt & Zannettino, 2015). …”
