A study explored how female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) view justice. Researchers interviewed 30 women, divided into two groups: 17 who pursued legal action against their abuser and 13 who did not. The study aimed to understand their perceptions of justice and whether these aligned with restorative justice principles. The findings revealed that survivors primarily associate justice with safety, a need that current systems often fail to meet. All participants expressed a preference for rehabilitation rather than imprisonment for offenders, but their views did not fully align with restorative justice ideals. The study emphasizes the necessity for a framework that prioritizes survivors’ safety while also considering broader restorative approaches, such as financial compensation and mental health support.
