TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Understanding intimate partner violence among ethnic and sexual minorities: lived experiences of queer women in Norway JO - Violence against women A1 - Ummak, Esra A1 - Turken, Salman A1 - Akin, Deniz SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Drawing upon in-depth, semi-structured interviews, this study explored how queer women from ethnic minority backgrounds in Norway understand and experience intimate partner violence (IPV). Based on an intersectional approach, the study highlights and discusses how having multiple minority positions may inform and affect the way participants experience IPV. The analysis shows that participants' experiences of IPV are shaped by their multiple minority statuses in Norwegian society. A discussion is provided that revolves around how being a sexual as well as an ethnic minority generates a significant power imbalance for the participants in their relationships.
