The Spiral of violence experienced by immigrant domestic workers: A qualitative approach Fuentes Pumarola, Concepció Albertín Carbó, Pilar Acién González, Estefanía Sibila Pérez, Mar Dones immigrants -- Violència contra Treball precari Cuidadors Sexisme Racisme Women immigrants -- Violence against Precarious employment Caregivers Sexism Racism Many immigrant women engaged in domestic work encounter precarious employment conditions characterized by uncertain contracts, often experiencing marginalization based on their racial identities. Through qualitative methods, including 23 in-depth interviews and interpretive analysis, this study aims to explore the structural and circumstantial violence embedded within the narratives of migrant women involved in caregiving and domestic work. These women report a spiral of structural violence influenced by classism, racism, and sexism perpetuated through the use of fear, abuse, and economic coercion. Such violence leads to systemic neglect, verbal and physical abuse, and continual humiliation, resulting in isolation. Immediate action is necessary to reform labor regulations and reshape care services, in order to address deeply ingrained inequalities and safeguard vulnerable women through administrative and labor reforms 2025-04-08T12:26:59Z 2025-04-08T12:26:59Z 2025-04-08T12:26:59Z 2025-03-18 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion peer-reviewed http://hdl.handle.net/10256/26666 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1177/10778012251329263 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1077-8012 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/eissn/1552-8448 Tots els drets reservats info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess SAGE Publications © Violence Against Women, 2025, vol. undef, núm. undef, p. undef Articles publicats (D-I) Fuentes Pumarola, Concepció Albertín Carbó, Pilar Acién González, Estefanía Sibila Pérez, Mar 2025 The Spiral of violence experienced by immigrant domestic workers: A qualitative approach Violence Against Women undef undef undef
