Grounding Access to Justice Theory and Practice in the Experiences of Women Abused by Their Intimate Partners

Abstract: For women seeking to extricate themselves from the web of entrapment woven together by the multiple threads that make up the coercive control repertoire of their abusive intimate partners, it is often difficult to avoid engagement with legal systems. Yet, the legal systems they encounter—criminal, family, child welfare, immigration among them—are frequently unwelcoming (if not hostile), controlling, demeaning, fragmented and contradictory. While there has been a recent explosion of interest in “access to justi… Show more

“…This includes access to affordable lawyers, self-help centers, civil protection order proceedings, and grievance mechanisms. Criminologists and sociolegal scholars have taken interest in the accessibility of justice and the juncture at which access to justice meets intersectional inequality and social justice (Blasi, 2009; Crenshaw, 1989, 1991; MacDowell, 2015, 2018, 2019; Mosher, 2015; Paik, 2017; Troshynski, 2020). Carol Smart’s (1989) canonical work, for example, calls for a more robust feminist lens in the study of law’s impact on women, in particular, pushing against a “one-size-fits-all” notion of legal power that does not account for the unique needs of vulnerable people.…”

“…Las mujeres afroamericanas, por ejemplo, tienen mayor probabilidad de experimentar brutalidad policial y de enfrentarse a discriminación de instituciones gubernamentales (Hampton et al, 2008;Jacobs, 2017;Potter, 2008;Richie, 1996;. Las mujeres inmigrantes también se enfrentan a obstáculos importantes para salir de las relaciones violentas, como la cultura y el lenguaje (Lemon, 2006;Souto et al, 2016), miedo a la deportación o a la pérdida de la custodia o tenencia de sus hijos (Reina, Lohman y Maldonado, 2014;Souto et al, 2016;Vidales, 2010), políticas de inmigración, su dependencia económica de sus abusadores (Jayasuriya-Illesinghe, 2018; Reina, Lohman y Maldonado, 2014) y/o su falta de familiarización con un sistema legal hostil (Mosher, 2015). Los sistemas de opresión (patriarcal, racial, económico) convergen para mantener a estas mujeres en situaciones de violencia (Collins, 2000;Crenshaw, 1991;George y Stith, 2014;Montesanti y Thurston, 2015;Mosher, 2015;Phillips, 1998;Sokoloff y Dupont, 2005).…”
