Despite high country-level gender equality, intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is common in Sweden. In discussion about this apparent paradox, the complexity of gender in/equality has been highlighted. Drawing on the domains considered in the EIGE gender equality index (work, money, knowledge, time, power, and health), and based on thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 23 women exposed to IPVAW, this study investigates experiences of different aspects of gender in/equality in violent partnerships. The violence was described as having influenced and involved all these domains of life. We conclude that gendered power dynamics remain central to IPVAW in Sweden.
