    A flight for survival and safety: A feminist phenomenological study of women's experiences of intimate partner violence and homelessness
    (Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 2023-10) Bayda, Brandy Andrea; Fletcher, Kara; Milne, Lise; Lovrod, Marie; Stewart-Tufescu, Ashley
    his study explores the experiences of four Saskatchewan women as they describe their experiences attempting to maintain housing after their abusive relationship had ended. Using phenomenological methodology provides rich descriptions of what it is like for survivors to navigate housing support services in Saskatchewan. The women’s experiences were gathered through in-person semi-structured interviews, allowing for both structure and flexibility. The study's findings highlight how additional barriers such as stigma, economic abuse, and financial struggles can create significant barriers for some women. These findings add to the growing scholarship in Saskatchewan exploring the link between intimate partner violence (IPV) and women's housing issues.
