abstract="This paper reports the findings of a qualitative study on the politicisation of domestic violence as it relates to the experiences of disabled survivors and argues that definitions of domestic violence are currently being debated within the disability and domestic violence spheres. Data are drawn from interviews with participants who have been active in politicising this issue and are affiliated to either the disabled people's movement or the movement against domestic violence in England and North Carolina. Although this issue is becoming increasingly politicised, this paper argues the process is currently marked by widespread discrepancies in defining domestic violence experienced by disabled people.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
