Abstract
This qualitative study examined the knowledge, experiences, and perceptions about support services for adolescent girls and adult refugee women (RW) survivors of domestic violence (DV) from five countries (Bhutan, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Somalia) who were residing in a large city in midwestern state in the United States (U.S.). The qualitative interviews (N = 35) were analyzed, revealing shared perspectives among participants from these five regions. Lack of knowledge about DV services, barriers to help-receiving, and perceptions about service providers are discussed in-depth. Results and suggestions for research, policy, and praxis are discussed.
