Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global human rights issue and is central to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 31 & 52. It is mostly considered as a peripheral issue of the broader gender-based violence (GBV) discourse and hence not comprehensively examined. Women are no doubt the primary victims of IPV, however, no or least attention has been paid towards examining its impact on both men and women from a human rights perspective. The multi-dimensional and intricate nature of the issue, coupled with the lack of cross-sectional and rights-based analysis of actors and factors associated with the issue makes it extremely challenging for development practitioners to understand its prevalence and take appropriate evidence-based programming actions to reduce its impacts on marital and family relationships.
