The thesis addresses the process of women leaving abusive relationships and explores how women experience this type of situation, what barriers and incentives arise during this process, and the role of various forms of support in their departure. The foundation of the research is the understanding of violence as a complex phenomenon that not only affects women physically but also psychologically, emotionally, and socially. The focus is on the view of women as active individuals who, in the process of leaving an abusive relationship, face internal struggles, fears, but also a desire for change and freedom. The thesis highlights the importance of formal support provided by social work centers, the police, lawyers, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and non-governmental organizations, as well as the role of informal support networks. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the decision-making processes, emotional recovery, and the needs of women who decide to end an abusive relationship.
