Preferred term

safety planning for battered women  

Definition

  • The harsh experience of violence against women can be witnessed in the face of its victims and measured in prevalence rates, underscoring that no woman stands immune from this form of victimization. Not only is the shadow cast by gendered violence long, but also the impact on a woman's health and mental health can be profoundly negative and enduring.
