This sociological study delves into the enduring social and psychological consequences of domestic violence on women in Sweden. Through a qualitative approach, employing semi-structured interviews with seven survivors, the research uncovers the multifaceted aftermath of such violence in their lives. Central to this inquiry is the exploration of changes in self-esteem, trust in relationships, and mental health, framed within the context of existential sociology and coping theory. The findings reveal a significant shift in the women's perception of self and others, marked by increased vigilance, skepticism in new relationships, and a profound impact on mental well-being. The study employs existential sociology to interpret these shifts, viewing them as part of a broader existential crisis and a reevaluation of life’s meaning post-trauma. Coping theory is also utilized to understand the varied strategies these women adopt in response to their experiences, highlighting the role of individual coping capacities in their recovery processes. Economic impacts were found to be diverse among the participants, with some experiencing financial exploitation, underscoring the intersection of economic and personal abuse. A critical examination of the role of support systems, including women's shelters, social services, and legal frameworks, reveals gaps and challenges in addressing the complex needs of domestic violence survivors. This thesis contributes to the sociological understanding of domestic violence, emphasizing the necessity for nuanced support systems and policies that acknowledge the long-term sociopsychological challenges faced by survivors. It advocates for a comprehensive approach, integrating sociological theories to better comprehend and address the aftermath of domestic violence in women’s lives.
