This article presents the results of a narrative literature review, which aims to identify the main factors associated with the safety and empowerment of women receiving domestic violence services. Based on a total of 32 articles published between 2014 and 2019, it proposes that five factors positively or negatively influence the safety and empowerment of these women: (1) internal resources, (2) the quality and accessibility of resources and services offered in the community, (3) their social support network, (4) their financial situation, as well as (5) having stayed in a shelter and the services received from specialized domestic violence services. Despite certain limitations that are discussed in the article, this narrative review allows us to highlight interesting avenues for research and intervention practices with women who are victims of domestic violence.
