Research on intimate partner violence (IPV) has increasingly focused on women's processes of leaving abusive partners. This article aims to develop a theoretical understanding grounded in intersectionality of the decision-making process involved in leaving an abusive partner. An intersectionality framework was used to analyze interviews with 25 abused mothers. We theorize that the leaving processes are complex and shaped by intersections of various individual, familial, and sociocultural factors that affect one's access to resources and decision-making. We make recommendations for future research regarding data collection and analysis to further facilitate the use of intersectionality within IPV research. The implications of this work urge researchers to account for diversity across individuals, their families, and sociocultural environments to have a more socially just stance while working with IPV survivors.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的研究越来越关注女性离开虐待伴侣的过程。本文旨在从交叉性的角度出发，深入了解离开虐待伴侣的决策过程。采用交叉性框架分析了对 25 位受虐母亲的访谈。我们推断，离开过程很复杂，受到各种个人、家庭和社会文化因素的交叉影响，这些因素影响着一个人获取资源和做出决策的能力。我们为未来的研究提出了关于数据收集和分析的建议，以进一步促进交叉性在 IPV 研究中的应用。这项工作的意义促使研究人员考虑到个人、家庭和社会文化环境的多样性，在与 IPV 幸存者合作时采取更具社会正义立场。
