| Summary, etc | This study examined the external constraints and the internal dynamics that have impacted on the transformation of the battered women's movement through two cases: one Canadian transition house; and one New Zealand refuge. More specifically the author has explored the influence of external funding and internal factors on the social change agenda that feminist collective organisations support. Empirical and historical data are drawn from to assist with understanding the impact of the external environment, particularly governments, (and in New Zealand the influence of the refuge movement, through the National Collective of Independent Women's Refuges Inc.) on the two shelters. The study examined to what degree they have been able to balance the exacting requirements that governments impose whilst remaining feminist organisations and social change agents. Findings from the study identify that the relationship with the external environment (that is, with governments and non-government organisations) impacted differently for the transition house and the refuge. The author concludes that the challenge for the movement within New Zealand is to balance accountability requirements whilst maintaining open discourse and its feminist values.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT |
