Abstract
Personal experiences revealed by victims focused on unsuccessful cries for help to police and other agencies and feelings of being trapped in violent situations. Although each victim's testimony was unique, common elements were reported by all---isolation, financial dependence, fear, and lack of community support and services. This document is about the personal experiences of the hearings of these women.
