According to the World Health Organization, intimate partner violence (IPV) affects 35% of women worldwide and 40% of pregnant women, often resulting in maternal and infant death and harm. Displaced persons are at higher risk of abuse compared to the general population. While few studies have explored IPV in Iraq, research from Erbil, Iraq showed nearly 60% of women reported experiencing IPV in their lifetime. No publications examining IPV among displaced women in Iraq exist. Considering the severe impacts of IPV in pregnancy and the associated risks for IPV among women in refugee camps, this paper presents the first analysis of prevalence and factors associated with lifetime IPV among displaced pregnant women in two Iraqi refugee camps. Thirteen percent of women reported experiencing any abuse and experiencing IPV was associated with receiving fewer years of schooling ( p = 0.04), not having a private doctor ( p = 0.002), attending the first prenatal visit during the third trimester ( p = 0.03), feeling pressure to have a child ( p = 0.003), knowing someone who was physically injured by their husband ( p = 0.05), experiencing suicidal ideation ( p = 0.02), and being worried about harming one's baby ( p = 0.02). Policy and programme recommendations for screening and prevention of IPV in resource-limited settings are provided
