Aotearoa/New Zealand’s rate of reported intimate partner violence (IPV) is among the highest in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In this article, we step behind the statistical trends to document the ways in which violence manifests in women’s everyday lives and the subtle, imperfect ways in which they respond through the development of various resistive tactics. We explore how these women navigate their daily lives with violence, paying particular attention to moments of adaptation, agency and resistance. With the help of Te Whakakruruhau (Māori Women’s Refuge), we conducted semi-structured discussions with eight women (four staff members and four former clients) who revealed how deeply enmeshed IPV can become within the conduct of everyday life. This necessitates their development of tactics for surviving the danger associated with mundane practices, such as grocery shopping, sleeping and doing the dishes. In responding to everyday violence, the women in our study create moments of routine and radical freedom in the midst of the chaos that comes with IPV.

女性对亲密伴侣暴力的日常抵抗

新西兰的亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 报告率在经济合作与发展组织 (OECD) 中名列前茅。在本文中，我们跟随统计趋势来记录暴力在女性日常生活中的表现方式，以及她们通过发展各种抵抗策略而做出的微妙、不完美的反应方式。我们探索这些女性如何在日常生活中应对暴力，特别关注适应、能动性和抵抗的时刻。在 Te Whakakruruhau（毛利妇女庇护所）的帮助下，我们与八名女性（四名工作人员和四名前客户）进行了半结构化的讨论，她们揭示了 IPV 在日常生活中的渗透程度。这需要他们制定策略以在与世俗行为相关的危险中幸存下来，例如杂货店购物、睡觉和洗碗。为了应对日常暴力，我们研究中的女性在 IPV 带来的混乱中创造了日常和激进的自由时刻。
