TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Navigating biases and distrust of systems: American and Canadian intimate partner violence service providers' experiences with trans and immigrant women clients JO - Victims and offenders A1 - Merken, Stacie A1 - Slakoff, Danielle C. A1 - Aujla, Wendy A1 - Moton, Lauren SP - 141 EP - 168 VL - 18 IS - 1 N2 - 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.
