Intimate Partner Violence is a broader term for Domestic Violence. “It includes physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, as well as sexual coercion and stalking by a current or former intimate partner. An intimate partner is a person with whom you have or had a close personal or sexual relationship. Intimate partner violence affects millions of women each year in the United States.” — Office on Women’s Health – HHS
“Nearly 1 in 6 pregnant women in the U.S. have been abused by a partner. Women who experience intimate partner violence prior to and during pregnancy are at increased risk of low maternal weight gains, infections, high blood pressure and are more likely to deliver pre-term or low birth weight babies. Women who received prenatal counseling for IPV had fewer recurrent episodes of IPV during and post pregnancy, as well as better birth outcomes such as lower rates of preterm birth and low birth weight.” — Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality – HHS
