The resilience from women who have suffered domestic violence: a review

Abstract

In the scientific literature on violence against women the studies of how women victims of domestic violence face this situation are included. Thus, we sought to know what is being disseminated in national and international journals on the resilience process of these women daily lives. The research criteria were defined as: articles published in the last five years, available online and with a qualitative approach. We found eight articles by PubMed service portal, and by Virtual Health Library databases and portals from January to November 2016. It was noticed that women suffer in silence for abuses committed in their homes, while others face violence alone, with help from friends, family or social support groups. Even so, there is discredit around these services by some women. There is need for amplifying the study in partnership to give the support for women who have experienced domestic violence, and also for expanding the discussions involving the responsibility of each one in for its territory.
