Fact Sheet, 2024
Intimate partner violence (IPV) involves behaviours by an intimate partner or ex-partner that cause physical, sexual, or psychological harm. While IPV can occur between partners of any gender or sexual orientation, women are most often the victims, and men are frequently the perpetrators. This fact sheet highlights the prevalence, risk factors, and impacts of IPV specifically during pregnancy. It details the significant health risks associated with IPV for both the mother and fetus and outlines key strategies for detection, intervention, and support.
