This article investigates women's experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) in relation to psychological, economic, physical and sexual violence. It does so based on qualitative findings from 63 semi-structured interviews with women victim/survivors of IPV from across Northern Ireland. The article presents key findings from these interviews and compares them with the quantitative findings from a recent pan-European Union (EU) study on violence against women (VAW). The findings reveal the myriad experiences of psychological, economic, physical and sexual violence endured by women in IPV relationships many of which have been overlooked in existing research and by the pan-EU study. The implications of these findings for research and policy are then discussed.

本文调查了女性在心理，经济，身体和性暴力方面的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）经历。这样做是基于对来自北爱尔兰各地IPV的女性受害者/幸存者的63次半结构化访谈的定性结果。本文介绍了这些访谈的主要发现，并将它们与最近泛欧联盟（EU）对妇女的暴力行为（VAW）进行的定量研究结果进行了比较。这些发现揭示了妇女在IPV关系中遭受的无数心理，经济，身体和性暴力经历，其中许多在现有研究和泛欧盟研究中都被忽视。然后讨论这些发现对研究和政策的意义。
