I have a personal question to ask, how do people who have survived domestic violence prefer to be called & how do you feel about survivor or victim?

An important conversation. I call myself a survivor of DFV. But I've thought a lot about this thread
and it has challenged my thinking as a researcher of gender violence (literature is now fixed on survivor, not victim). Well worth reading:https://twitter.com/redlightvoices/status/1122763332170211328?s=19 …

I don't know when this happened but at some point in the last maybe 20? 30 years? the word "victim" acquired a negative connotation. I have spoken before about certain feminist discourses that rushed to identify everyone as "survivors" rather than "victims"
