TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - ‘I must get out’: the geographies of domestic violence JO - Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers A1 - Warrington, Molly SP - 365 EP - 382 VL - 26 IS - 3 N2 - The geographies of domestic violence are envisaged in this paper as a series of enlarging, though restricted spaces. Although the social construction of home is as a place of safety and support, in reality it can be a place of violence, where women are spatially restricted either to the home itself, or to its immediate environs. Women who break free and seek safety in a women's refuge, or who move to a new home in a different place, continue to live spatially restricted lives, in the fear that their former partner may trace them.
