Risk Factors & Patterns Interpretation
Globally, intimate partner violence is a preventable, escalating pattern of control and harm that strikes especially at predictable fault lines like pregnancy, young age, disability, poverty, conflict, and displacement, and it is sustained by patriarchal norms, economic dependence, partner jealousy and isolation, alcohol-fueled aggression, and the chilling intergenerational echo of violence that makes survivors and future generations more likely to be targeted.
How We Rate Confidence
