Abrahams and Jewkes (2005) report that South Africa experiences high levels of violent crimes. In particular, in South Africa in 1999, 8.8 women per 100 000 aged 14 years or older were murdered by a current or ex-husband or boyfriend (Abrahams & Jewkes, 2005). This indicates the seriousness of the problem of women abuse in South Africa, which motivated this study. This study explores the experiences of abused women living in shelters for abused women. The participants in this study were abused by people known and close to them, such as their spouses, boyfriends, step-fathers and uncles. Due to such abuse, they had to seek refuge in shelters for abused women, where they have access to psychological intervention and counseling. This study reports on multiple case studies that were conducted on victims of domestic violence in two shelters in South Africa. Some of the reasons given for being abused were: their refusal to give their abusers money for drugs, refusal to have sex without condoms because the abusers ha paid "lobola" or dowry, and the refusal to allow their husbands or partners to have extra-marital affairs. The participants were exposed to verbal, psychological/emotional, physical, sexual and financial/economic abuse. In the shelters, they were empowered to acquire different skills in order to prepare them for life "after the shelter."
