Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) falls under domestic abuse.
It occurs when a person in an intimate relationship or inside marriage abuses
or dominates his/her partner to maintain total control over him/her. IPV
happens in any form of relationship – both man and woman relationship and same sex
partnership.
Recognizing
IPV
The first way to solve an IPV is to recognize the abuse. Some
victims suffer from severe injuries, including emotional and psychological, due
