On intimate partner violence
Modified: 12/17/2020 2:57:57 PM
The awareness around intimate partner violence (IPV) has been brought to the fore with the COVID-19 pandemic — media attention has highlighted that globally, women already experiencing abuse are at risk of heightened violence along with a general proliferation of IPV overall during the pandemic.
Having worked in the field of domestic and sexual violence for over nine years, I know well the ways in which violence interrupts and affects women’s lives in brutal ways. My doctoral studies in public health at University of Massachusetts Amherst have given me the time to delve deeper into understanding this public health epidemic – and epidemic that I believe continues to be highly stigmatized, invisible to many, and dangerously mis-characterized and largely treated as a private issue.
