The information was gathered using a structured interview. Results obtained show that despite the hardships they face, half of the women in poverty who are victims of IPV say they are happy, and the vast majority are optimistic about their future. The main sources of happiness among the interviewees are in areas outside their economic life, and are mainly associated with social relations.
