dc.description.abstract My secondary analysis of qualitative data focuses on resilience in women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Brazil. This research addressed the structural, cultural, and social complexity of resilience and IPV. The study aimed to explore the experiences of women who have suffered from IPV; identify the systemic, institutional, and cultural factors contributing to resilience; and assess individual women’s responses. I selected, listened to, transcribed, translated into English, and coded 15 interviews. Using the social ecology model of resilience as my guiding framework, I analyzed the data from the interviews and identified eighteen subthemes along with eight key themes. The study found that women utilized resources that increased their resilience. Relevant socio-demographic information was accessed, while a feminist intersectional approach was adopted in the analysis. In conclusion, investigating how women reorganize their lives after experiencing IPV contributes to developing better empirically based policies and interventions in developing world contexts. en_CA
