Breaking Cycles | Changing Lives
Domestic violence can happen to anybody. While pregnancy can bring immense joy in relationships, it brings pain to others with emotions that play out in the form of domestic violence against both the mother and her unborn child.
According to the WHO “intimate partner violence during pregnancy has been found to be associated with fatal and non-fatal adverse health outcomes for the pregnant woman and her baby due to the direct trauma pf abuse to a pregnant woman’s body.”
Research shows that pregnancy does not prevent domestic/intimate partner violence. In a study conducted by the WHO evidence showed that 50% of women stated they were beaten for the first time during a pregnancy.
