Overview

This publication sets out a conceptual framework and detailed research protocol for investigating how women who are victims of domestic violence go about seeking help. The protocol, which has been widely tested in ten Latin American countries, relies on a series of structured interviews to obtain information about the experiences of women as they search for assistance and the social factors that affect both access to services and the quality of support. Addressed to policymakers, as well as investigators, the book aims to show how research data can be used to improve existing services and develop better policies for prevention.
