About
Intimate Partner violence is a major public health problem and a violation of human rights.
Worldwide almost one in three of children have experienced violence between their caregivers by the age of ten. While preventing and responding to violence requires a multi-sectoral approach, the healthcare sector has an important role to play. (World Health Organisation)
- Intimate partner violence is common in the general population – reported by one in three families
- Impacts for women commonly recognised but less focus on the impacts for their children
- A third to a half of children with poor outcomes at age 10 had been exposed to violence
- Child access to services is through family – few mothers had raised the violence they were experiencing with health professionals, including psychologists/counsellors.
“Strengthening the capacity of health professionals to recognize and respond to family violence and building stronger evidence for effective and timely interventions involving the health sector are critical priorities for safeguarding the health of future generations.”
