Answer: What is Intimate Partner Violence mean?

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is domestic violence by a current or former spouse or partner in an intimate relationship against the other spouse or partner. IPV can take a number of forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic and sexual abuse. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines IPV as "any behaviour within an intimate relationship that causes physical, psychological or sexual harm to those in the relationship, including acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviors." IPV is sometimes referred to simply as battery, or as spouse or partner abuse.

The most extreme form of IPV is termed intimate terrorism, coercive controlling violence, or simply coercive control. In such situations, one partner is systematically violent and controlling. This is generally perpetrated by men against women, and is the most likely of the types to require medical services and the use of a women's shelter. For example, in the United States, 85% of victims of IPV are women; and an estimated 1.3 million female victims sustain a physical assault of some form from an intimate partner each year.

Resistance to intimate terrorism, which is a form of self-defense, and is termed violent resistance, is usually conducted by women.

Studies on domestic violence against men suggest that men are less likely to report domestic violence perpetrated by their female intimate partners. On the other hand, men are more likely to commit acts of severe domestic battery, and women are more likely to suffer serious injury as a result.

The most common but less injurious form of intimate partner violence is situational couple violence (also known as situational violence), which is conducted by men and women nearly equally, and is more likely to occur among younger couples, including adolescents (see teen dating violence) and those of college age. Another form of violence, in which both partners in the relationship engage in controlling and violent behavior, is called mutual violent control.
