The Purpose of this research is to explore the experiences and needs of women experiencing protective order violation and to expect social workers to provide services. In addition, this research collects experiences and views of social workers, hoping to provide appropriate assistance to women. Adopting the qualitative research method and in-depth interviews, the researcher has interviewed six battered women and six social workers to understand their experiences of protective order violation. The research found that the battered women's awareness of the protection order would affect their assistance concept. Women who experienced protective order violation from their intimate partner, they were in the situations of the threat of violence, hard to find jobs, economic pressures, and responsibility for family care. According to the severity of the violence and assistance concept, women had different ways to response to the violence. Women’s help-seeking experiences would affect their confidence out of violence. The following three reasons would cause women’s dilemma: worried for help, negative attitude of professionals, and the protective order violation cases sentenced light punishment. Therefore, women hoped that the public authority intervenes the protective order violation cases, the supports from social workers, protecting personal safety, and increasing advocacy concept of domestic violence prevention. The social workers were expected to play multivariate roles in the protective order violation cases. However, the social workers felt lacking strength because of the excessive caseload and the frustrations from the domestic violence prevention network. The social workers wish horizontal cooperation of the domestic violence prevention network to implement protective order. According to the research result, the researcher suggests some recommendations as the domestic violence prevention network’s reference.
