Abstract:

Although existing literature is rich with descriptions of the process of coming out for lesbian women, the present study is distinctive in its systematic examination of coming out from the perspective of lesbian women who were sexually abused as children. Through the hermeneutic-phenomenological analysis of interviews with selected participants who identified as lesbian women, the objective of this study was to identify and describe participantsâ perspectives of childhood sexual abuse, coming out experiences, and their perception of how these experiences might interrelate.

Abstract:

This study examines how lesbian domestic violence is constructed by various social actors from within a social representations framework. In particular, the study compares and contrasts the ways in which social representations on lesbian domestic violence are constituted by practitioners working within the spheres of both domestic violence and lesbian mental health in Quebec. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with workers from the shelter movement and with practitioners who work with lesbians. Findings indicate that proximity, either by identifying as a lesbian or by having lesbian fri

Abstract:

Despite increasing interest on the topic of violence in intimate relationships, research exploring the experiences of same sex domestic violence among lesbians from "ethno-racial" communities remains considerably rare. In this qualitative study, semi structured interviews were conducted with four (4) lesbians (one experiencer, one aggressor and two community workers) and one heterosexual shelter worker. The aim was to explore the intersections of gender, "race"/ethnic group, and sexual orientation and their impact upon the experience of violence. The accounts of the participants demonst

Abstract:

　　　1 January 2010 was a milestone for the survivors and victims of same-sex domestic violence in Hong Kong. After a hard fought legislative battle, the Domestic and Cohabitation Relationships Violence Ordinance (DCRVO) was extended to cover cohabitation relationships irrespective of sexual orientation. 　　　With the inclusion of same-sex cohabitants in the legislation, gay survivors are provided the same legal protection as different sex couples. It is believed that equality has been achieved for gay victims, in theory at least. Indeed, the topic of same-sex domestic violence seemed to vanish

Abstract:

This is a study of relationship abuse patterns among lesbians that abuse substances. Victims of domestic violence usually do not report the crime, especially lesbian victims. Traditionally, societal norms identify domestic violence as being between a male and a female. Therefore, information describing the lesbian victim demographics and rate of occurrences are limited. Many lesbian do not go to the police because they do not feel they will be taken seriously since the abuser is another woman. In addition, some lesbians are afraid of being judged because of their lifestyle or because of the ps

El abuso psicológico en parejas intragénero se conceptualiza como aquella violencia instrumental prolongada a lo largo del tiempo que busca la dominación sobre la pareja para conseguir su sometimiento, y que ocurre en una relación sexo-afectiva entre personas con la misma identidad de género. Este abuso sucede en un contexto cis-hetero-normativo de estigma hacia las personas lesbianas, gais, transexuales, bisexuales, intersexuales y queers que puede influir sobre la experimentación y la perpetración de dicho abuso.

For years, researchers, clinicians, and those working with victims/survivors of domestic abuse have overlooked the issue of same-sex partner aggression among lesbians and bisexual women. Through in-depth interviews with 19 women who identify themselves as either lesbian or bisexual, information was documented in this study demonstrating the severity of issues of power and control among some same-sex partners, as well as some if the dynamics that are unique to same-sex abusive relationships. Patterns of abuse within same-sex relationships often mirror those that are so commonly associated with

Abstract:

An extensive review of the existing literature makes apparent that academics who study intimate partner violence focus primarily on physical violence in heterosexual relationships. Non-physical forms of abuse receive secondary attention, despite reported claims from survivors that non-physical forms of abuse are more common, more painful, and have longer lasting effects than physical forms of abuse. The dominant focus on intimate partner violence as a social problem enacted by males on their female partners results in a lack of sufficient literature or conversation pertaining to abuse that exi

Thesis advisor: Stephanie Berzin<br>A growing body of evidence shows that sexual minority youth disproportionately suffer from poor mental health and substance abuse outcomes in comparison to their heterosexual peers. Parental support has been found to be a strong protective factor for these youth. There is a lack of research, however, that examines the role of non-parental adult support, such as natural mentors (e.g., teachers, grandparents, and coaches). Guided by minority stress and resiliency theories, the current study aims to deepen our understanding of whether natural mentors act as a r

This thesis seeks to analyze the issue of intimate partner violence (IPV) within female same-sex relationships in order to uncover how/if it can be related to an invisibility of female same-sex relationships in society at large. By analyzing various articles and academic texts dealing with IPV in both heterosexual and homosexual relationships, the hope is to establish some core differences and similarities within the field of IPV research. The analysis will also look at how the notion of the violent female is addressed, and how other characteristics such as race, ethnicity, age and ableness co

Milled is a collection of poems centered around the speaker’s maternal grandfather who dedicated his life to hard labor as a crane operator in the American steel industry, which led to his work-related illness and eventual death at the age of sixty. These poems investigate subjects that focus on: the Appalachian landscape, childhood trauma, domestic violence, and substance abuse. Such themes inform the speaker’s understanding of her own identity as a working-class queer woman who struggles to reckon with her troubled past.

Abstract:

The defence of self-defence, like much of the common law, has strongly male-centric origins and emphases. Judges and juries have little difficulty understanding the theory of the case presented to them by defence counsel when self-defence is argued to have been necessary as a result of an attack by a stranger or after a bar brawl. It is argued that what is conceptually more difficult for jurors is the application of the defence of self-defence in circumstances where an alleged perpetrator of an assault or homicide does so in circumstances of intimate partner violence, and that this is particul

Queer-identified women in Canada and elsewhere are underserved as a community with regard to the provision of support for drug use related problems.

The homophobia and heterosexism endemic to our society is an issue that necessitates the exploration, development, and inclusion of responsive policies and services for queer women who seek - or desire to seek - support for problematic
