RT Article T1 Navigating Biases and Distrust of Systems: American and Canadian Intimate Partner Violence Service Providers’ Experiences with Trans and Immigrant Women Clients JF Victims & offenders VO 18 IS 1 SP 141 OP 168 A1 Merken, Stacie A2 Slakoff, Danielle C. A2 Aujla, Wendy A2 Moton, Lauren LA English YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1830209507 AB To date, very little is known about intimate partner violence (IPV) service providers’ experiences serving trans and immigrant women (IPV) survivors and their barriers in reporting and/or accessing formal services. Employingconstructivist grounded theory, two vignettes were constructed – one featuring a trans woman and the other an immigrant woman, both seeking IPV services. American and Canadian IPV service providers responded to open-ended survey questions about both scenarios, resulting in several emergent themes including, but not limited to: service provider biases, shelter conflicts, and distrust of systems. Policy implications and future research are also addressed.
