Research on domestic violence shelters, or refuges, for abused mothers and children is limited, especially research with a focus on children’s lives and living conditions. To make the research that has been done historically visible, this chapter compiles and describes previous research that focused on children with experience of living in domestic violence shelters. The chapter chronologically describes how the field has grown over time and included new research topics and been extended to several different national contexts. The chapter concludes, despite the valuable research that has been done in the field, that it is nevertheless desirable if the field can grow to include new questions and perspectives, to further develop the knowledge regarding children who must flee their home and seek shelter because of violence.
