In: Violence Against Women, 2022, First published online, 21 February 2022Summary: There is significant global evidence that highlights both the high rates of domestic and family violence (DFV) for women with disabilities and the challenges they can face when navigating and responding to DFV. The purpose of this study was to understand women with physical disabilities’ experiences of help-seeking when they did not access generalist DFV services. Presented are the participants’ lived experiences of navigating and responding to DFV. Key findings include how participants resisted ableism, challenged assumptions about passivity, and the impacts of this resistance on their navigation of DFV. (Authors' abstract). This article is based on the author's 2019 PhD thesis (University of Sydney). - full text not currently available online. Record #7539
