Participate in the International Conference on Women and Abusive Relationships this 2022!

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), encompassing “Domestic Abuse” can take a number of forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic, as well as sexual abuse that transcends socioeconomic, religious, and cultural groups and spans from online trolling to domestic violence. Incidents are rarely isolated and usually escalate in frequency and severity. Domestic abuse may culminate in serious physical injury or death. The overwhelming global burden of IPV is borne by women.

World Health Organisation (‘WHO”) has also taken cognizance of the fact that Intimate Partner Violence is one of the most common forms of violence against women and includes physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and controlling behaviors by an intimate partner.

It is imperative that in the lens of Law, IPV including Domestic Abuse be considered beyond a conventional marital argument or a private matter, best left to the couple to resolve between themselves and their families. Laws specifically need to address the intricately intertwined issues within the expansive contours of IPV and provide a viable legal and enforceable platform to Women seeking justice against IPV.
