Intimate Partner Violence

What is Intimate Partner Violence?

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), also known as domestic violence, affects adults and the whole community. Children exposed to IPV face direct and indirect harm. They might witness violence, live in unstable homes, or feel trauma from a parent’s abuse. These experiences often mirror the spousal abuse cycle. Tension, violence, and reconciliation repeat. This leaves lasting emotional scars.

Children in abusive relationships experience early warning signs and escalation. This can lead to lasting emotional, behavioral, and developmental issues. Identifying the stages of domestic abuse is key. It helps us intervene early and keep children safe.

Why It's Important to Stop It

Children from violent homes often face anxiety, depression, and struggles in school. They may also repeat cycles of abuse as adults. IPV is not a family issue, it is a child protection crisis. To tackle this, we need specialized help, proven support, and strong advocacy. This way, we can protect children from harm and help them thrive.
