Résumé
Cet article vise à comprendre les manières avec lesquelles les actions des membres du réseau social des femmes victimes de violence conjugale s’enchaînent et modifient leur autonomie. L’analyse s’appuie sur des entrevues individuelles réalisées avec 30 femmes victimes de violence conjugale recrutées en maison d’hébergement, de même que sur une entrevue de groupe rassemblant des intervenantes et des femmes victimes. Les résultats soulignent que les membres de l’entourage des femmes soutiennent parfois leur autonomie en prenant leur juste part du problème, mais qu’à l’opposé, ils font parfois aussi entrave à leur autonomie en refusant le problème ou en prenant la charge complète de la situation. Face à cette diversité de réponses, les femmes agissent en fonction de leurs attentes à l’égard des actions d’autrui et de sorte à préserver l’autonomie qu’il leur reste.

Abstract
This article aims to understand how the actions undertaken by members of the support system of women victims of domestic violence unfold and modify the women’s autonomy. The analysis is based on individual interviews conducted with 30 women victims of domestic violence who were recruited in women shelters, as well as on a group interview with workers and victims. The results show that the women’s entourage sometimes support their autonomy by taking their fair share of the problem, while they sometimes also hinder their autonomy by refusing to accept the problem or by taking complete control of the situation. Faced with this diversity of responses, women act according to their expectations regarding others’ actions and in such a way as to preserve their remaining autonomy.
