To generate data andanalysis a non-androcentric action research was carried out together with the Federation of One-Parent Familiesof Catalonia. A survey was designed and distributed through a strategic convenience sampling and received 300answers from one-parent households. About 96% of them were female-headed and a 42.9% of them reportedhaving suffered IPV once in their lives. Our results show then a high prevalence of IPV among those mothers,especially for women who separated or divorced, with fewer resources and coming from Latin America.However, women with fewer resources more frequently reported such violence, relied more on community-based organisations and applied more for court restraining orders. In any case, public support for women infemale-headed one-parent households that suffer IPV is still insufficient.8 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier, 2019http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esViolència conjugalEstudis de gènereFamília monoparentalEstudis de donesMarital violenceGender studiesSingle-parent familyWomen's studiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6841922020-05-26info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
