Intimate partner violence against women is a psychological, physical, and sexual abuse directed towards spouses. Globally it is the most pervasive yet underestimated human rights violation. Intimate partner violence against women is known to undermine the physical, mental and reproductive well-being of women and children. Since much of this is hidden inside the home, it is difficult to document it and work towards its prevention. Empirical data are needed to take appropriate measures in curbing the problem.
