Abstract
Violence towards women is a violation of human rights, and is a public health issue. It cuts across all global boundaries and identities. Our workshop utilizes a feminist, ecological framework to examine violence towards women of different age groups perpetrated by other women. We will address the impact of cultural and societal structures as well as socialized interpersonal relationships. We will present the experiences of selected women from three different life stages and cultural backgrounds to include: adolescence, young adulthood, and older adult women. In addition to examining the etiology of the abuse of women by women at these different life stages, we will explore pathways to recovery.
