Samenvatting

Domestic violence has been thoroughly studied from different angles and over the years rhetoric has changed from victims of violence to survivors of violence. This study tries to explore the experiences, resources and challenges in the context that make it possible to survive for those who lived, or still live, such a terrible experience within their homes. Understanding that the action of surviving is not an isolated event for survivors, the following research was developed following a conceptual framework that positions survival as the result of the interactions between three concepts, Agency, Resources and Institutions.
