Older women experiencing domestic violence are an invisible group who fall into the gap between two forms of family violence: elder abuse and domestic violence. This article reviews the literature in both fields, describing each paradigm, how it explains and responds to its specific form of violence, and why neither has been able to provide an adequate response to domestic violence against older women. A collaborative response is needed, accounting for both the age and gender dimensions of the problem.
遭受家庭暴力的老年女性是一个被忽视的群体，她们陷入了两种家庭暴力形式之间的空白：虐待老人和家庭暴力。本文回顾了这两个领域的文献，描述了每种模式，它如何解释和应对其特定形式的暴力，以及为什么两者都未能充分应对针对老年女性的家庭暴力。需要一种协作性的应对措施，兼顾问题的年龄和性别层面。
