Characterizing typologies of overlapping IPV & VAC in the home: Findings from DRC, Ethiopia, and South Africa

While intimate partner violence (IPV) and caregiver-perpetrated violence against children (VAC) are recognized as global epidemics, gaps persist in understanding the nature of co-occurring violence within the home.

This study seeks to characterize the nature and overlap of concurrent IPV and caregiver-perpetrated VAC in families across three African contexts.
