%X This article examines women's responses to violence perpetrated by an intimate male partner. Qualitative data gathered from interviews with abused women who were part of a wider evaluation study of programmes for violent men is presented. Findings reveal that understanding women's responses to violence prompts practitioners to be: mindful of the complexity of violent relationships; aware of the strategies of resistance which women deploy in order to stop/reduce the violence; and cognisant of the interconnectedness of women's and men's responses to men's violence against women.<p />
