Addressing Intimate Partner Violence: Using Vlogging for Art Therapy

: This study is rooted in the persistent issue of intimate partner violence and the need for strategies that empower women to share their experiences and seek assistance in conjunction with the information digital era. The research primarily explores the potential of vlogging as an art therapy approach that enables women to courageously express emotions and seek support when facing intimate partner violence. The methodology employed involves a dual analysis, examining both the comments left on vlogs and the narratives presented by the vloggers themselves, shedding light on how they convey their experiences, gain support, and navigate their journey towards recovery. The findings of this study reveal that vlogging serves as an effective medium for women to express their emotions, find validation, and receive encouragement from viewers who share similar experiences or provide emotional value. By demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach, the study aims to encourage more women to bravely embrace vlogging as a means to express their emotions, seek help, and contribute to breaking the silence surrounding intimate partner violence. This research contributes to the broader discourse on digital activism and the role of technology in supporting survivors and promoting social change
