Intimate partner violence (IPV) has emerged as a serious public health issue in migrant communities in Central Asia and globally.

A total of 170 participants (12.7%) reported ever perpetrating physical or sexual IPV and 6.7% perpetrated such IPV in the prior 6 months. Multiple logistic regression results suggest that the risk environment factors of poor living conditions, exposure to political ...Continue Reading
