One of the most common forms of men’s violence against women, intimate partner
violence (IPV) occurs in all countries. Although women can be violent in relationships with
men and violence is found in same-sex partnerships, the overwhelming burden of IPV is
borne by women at the hands of men.

Globally, recent years have seen the highest levels of displacement on record. This adds
extra urgency to the need to close evidence gaps and identify how to reduce and respond
to the risks of gender-based violence (GBV) in humanitarian settings.

Identifying effective ways to prevent forms of gender-based violence (GBV) among
adolescents and youths is vital to reduce rates of GBV. Adolescents are uniquely impacted
by GBV: their young age and
inexperience with relationships
can heighten their risk for physical
and sexual intimate partner
violence. Being a victim of GBV
during adolescence can lead to
long-lasting negative mental and
physical health outcomes, and can
set young women on a trajectory
for subsequent abuse.
