We present the results of a qualitative research study on the impact of services and strategies used by aboriginal women who are victims of family violence. We conducted 36 interviews with women of different nations, living in communities and urban areas. Two profiles have been identified: a profile of resilient women who managed to escape from their violent environment and whose consequences of violence are greatly reduced and a profile of women more persistent, meaning that they are kept in a violent environment or are still hurt by the consequences of the violence experienced. The combination of three factors explain these differences: socio demographic factors, profile of victimization and career of strategies and resources used by the women.
