	abstract = {A qualitative study examined children{\textquoteright}s subjective perception of their mother{\textquoteright}s situation during their stay in shelters for battered women (SBW). Thirty-two children, aged 7{\textendash}12 years, who were staying with their mothers in SBWs participated in this study. Thematic analysis revealed the following two core themes: children{\textquoteright}s perceptions and insights, and feelings that were related to their perceptions. The findings are discussed in light of the concepts of exposure to IPV as a lived trauma, and re-exposure to violence in new contexts, and the role of the relationship with the abused mother in shaping the child{\textquoteright}s well-being.},
