Funded Activity Summary

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has been identified as a public health epidemic of critical concern to Australia and to societies worldwide. There is a growing consensus that there are specific psychosocial factors including past exposure to trauma that may place women from refugee background at risk of IPV, particularly during settlement. Pregnancy is a particular period of vulnerability for all women, and there is evidence that the risk of IPV increases during pregnancy.
