Abstract

Violence against women (VAW) is a pressing global problem that violates women's rights and negatively affects their health and well-being. While VAW in the worldwide context encompasses a variety of acts, the most common form is violence against females perpetrated by their male intimate partners. Investigating intimate partner violence (IPV) in different societies and social and cultural contexts within which IPV exists is important for social scientists to understand the nature of IPV and find the possible policy and practice interventions.
