ABSTRACT This article highlights a gendered and forced mobility which has been under-recognised in the literature on mobility. It explores the hidden relocations of women (often with children) due to intimate partner abuse; presenting findings from mixed methods research on women’s journeys to escape domestic violence, including analysis of over 80 journey segments made by 20 women within England and Wales, and from abroad. Focusing on means of transport, the research found that under a third of journey segments were made by public transport, and these tended to be longer distances; that journeys by disabled women were more likely to be by private transport, and that journeys from rural areas were more likely to be with the assistance of others. Thematic analysis of interviews at different stages of women’s journeys is used to explore their experiences of different means of transport in terms of degrees of control and agency, in terms of losing or retaining personal possessions on the move; and in highlighting the role of others’ assistance in compounding or counteracting the implications of abuse. Women’s domestic violence journeys are thereby contextualised within wider mobilities research, uncovering the inequalities and implications of this hidden internal displacement in the UK.

私人暴力/私人运输：运输手段在英格兰和威尔士妇女逃脱家庭暴力的行动中的作用

摘要本文重点介绍了性别不平等和强迫性不便，这在流动性文献中并未得到充分认识。它探讨了由于亲密伴侣的虐待而使妇女（经常带孩子）的隐性迁移；展示混合方法研究中妇女逃离家庭暴力的旅程的发现，包括分析英格兰和威尔士以及国外的20名妇女进行的80多个旅程段。研究集中在交通方式上，发现三分之一的行程段是通过公共交通进行的，而这些段往往距离较长；残疾妇女的旅行更有可能是乘坐私人交通工具，而农村地区的旅行更有可能是在其他人的协助下进行的。在妇女旅途的不同阶段对访谈进行专题分析，以从控制和代理的角度，在旅途中丢失或保留个人财产方面探讨她们在不同运输方式上的经历；并强调其他人的协助在加重或抵制虐待的影响方面的作用。因此，妇女的家庭暴力之旅在更广泛的流动性研究中得到了背景化，从而揭示了英国这种隐性内部流离失所的不平等和影响。
