Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an urgent issue facing Australian queer womxni, with up to 40% experiencing violence within the intimate setting. Despite this, current literature on IPV continues to centre violence against women in heterosexual relationships. This conceptualises IPV narrowly, as something which only occurs between male and female partners, silencing IPV between queer womxn and creating a kind of 'second closet'.
