Multisectoral collaboration on violence against women and children in Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon
Increasing global evidence highlights the significant intersections between violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC), emphasising the need for collaboration among actors addressing VAW and VAC. However, tensions regarding prioritising women’s and children’s needs have led to fragmented approaches, in addition to knowledge gaps regarding effective collaborative efforts. This study aims to assess how the coordination between…
Ethical reporting of research on violence against women and children
Changes in research practice during the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates renewed attention to ethical protocols and reporting for data collection on sensitive topics. This review summarises the state of ethical reporting among studies collecting violence data during early stages of the pandemic. We systematically searched for journal publications from the start of the pandemic to November 2021, identifying 75 studies that collected primary data on …
The Co-Occurrence of Intimate Partner Violence and Violence Against Children
Violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC) are public health issues of global concern. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a commonly occurring form of VAW and there is evidence to suggest that IPV and VAC frequently co-occur within the same families. This systematic literature review searched for studies published in any language between 1 st January 2000 to 16 th February 2021 and identified 33 studies that provided finding…
Correlates of co-occurring physical child punishment and physical intimate partner violence in Colombia, Mexico and Peru
These findings are consistent with several theories relevant for violence prevention: 1) more collaborative, gender equitable partnerships may protect both children and women from violence; 2) violence between intimate partners may 'spill over' into violence against children (as correlations could not be explained by shared risk factors alone); and 3) there appears to be strong evidence of intergenerational transmission of violence
La violencia por parte de la pareja íntima en las Américas
Objetivo. Describir lo que se sabe acerca de la prevalencia nacional de la violencia por parte de la pareja íntima (VPI) contra las mujeres en las Américas, en los diversos países y en el transcurso del tiempo, incluida la cobertura geográfica, calidad y comparabilidad de los datos nacionales. Métodos. Se realizó una revisión sistemática y reanálisis de las estimativas nacionales de la VPI basadas en la población de 1998 a 2017 en las Américas. L…
Co-occurring violent discipline of children and intimate partner violence against women in Latin America and the Caribbean
INTRODUCTION: Intersections between violent discipline (physical punishment and/or verbal aggression) of children and intimate partner violence (IPV) against women have received growing international attention. This study aimed to determine how many Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries had national data on co-occurring IPV and violent discipline in the same household, how estimates compared and whether violent discipline was significantly…
Intimate partner violence in the Americas
Objectives. To describe what is known about the national prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women in the Americas across countries and over time, including the geographic coverage, quality, and comparability of national data. Methods. This was a systematic review and reanalysis of national, population-based IPV estimates from 1998 – 2017 in the Americas. Estimates were reanalyzed for comparability or extracted from reports, inc…
Irrespeto y maltrato durante el parto y el aborto en América Latina
Objetivo. Esta revisión sintetiza la evidencia cuantitativa, general y desglosada por categorías tipológicas de la falta de respeto y maltrato en la atención institucional del parto y el aborto en América Latina y el Caribe. Métodos. Mediante búsquedas sistemáticas se identificaron 18 estudios primarios. Se calcularon Q e I 2 y se realizaron metaanálisis, metarregresiones y análisis de subgrupos con la aplicación de un modelo de Der Simonian-Lair…
Violence against children in Latin America and the Caribbean
Past-year physical and emotional violence by caregivers and students is widespread in LAC across all ages in childhood, as is IPV against girls aged 15 - 19 years. Data collection must be expanded in LAC to monitor progress towards the sustainable development goals, develop effective prevention and response strategies, and shed light on violence relating to organized crime/gangs
Who perpetrates violence against children? A systematic analysis of age-specific and sex-specific data
OBJECTIVE: The epidemiology of violence against children is likely to differ substantially by sex and age of the victim and the perpetrator. Thus far, investment in effective prevention strategies has been hindered by lack of clarity in the burden of childhood violence across these dimensions. We produced the first age-specific and sex-specific prevalence estimates by perpetrator type for physical, sexual and emotional violence against children g…
Bridging the gaps
BACKGROUND: The international community recognises violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC) as global human rights and public health problems. Historically, research, programmes, and policies on these forms of violence followed parallel but distinct trajectories. Some have called for efforts to bridge these gaps, based in part on evidence that individuals and families often experience multiple forms of violence that may be…
Latin American and Caribbean countries’ baseline clinical and policy guidelines for responding to intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women
Baseline measurement of policy and clinical guidelines for IPV/SV in LAC PAHO/WHO member countries at the time of issuing the 2013 WHO Clinical and Policy Guidelines reveals some important strengths, but also serious gaps that need to be addressed. The most pressing needs are for concerted training initiatives for healthcare providers and strengthening multisectoral monitoring and evaluation of services. A future evaluation of national policies, …
Expanding Access to Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception was proven effective nearly 30 years ago yet remains greatly under-utilised. In the Latin American and Caribbean region, it would serve the goals of reducing unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortion and related morbidity, and as a back-up to condom use and a bridge to longer-term contraceptive methods if made more widely known and available. The International Planned Parenthood Federation Western Hemisphere Region has developed…

that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual, or psychological harm or suffering for women, ineluding threats of such acts, coercion, or arbitrary deprivations of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life.1 A recent analysis of more than 50 population-based surveys found that between 10% and 50% (or more) of adult-women respondents around the world reported having been physi- cally assaulted by an intimate male partner …
Abortion in Brazil
Abortion is illegal in Brazil except when performed to save the woman's life or in cases of rape. This paper gives a brief history of parliamentary and extra-parliamentary efforts to change abortion-related legislation in Brazil in the past 60 years, the contents of some of the 53 bills that have been tabled in that time, the non-governmental stakeholders involved and the debate itself in recent decades. The authorities in Brazil have never assum…
Where Women Have No Doctor
In the context of inequity which makes achieving `health for all' extremely difficult, Where Women Have No Doctor attempts to give access to health information to those who lack it. The authors applaud the book, and stress that there is great need for this information, despite criticism from the book's reviewer in Development in Practice 8(3). This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis
