• Resumen

  • This chapter examines the ways in which intimate partner violence (IPV) affects women across diverse geographies at various phases and contexts prior to, during, and following migration. Drawing from feminist perspectives, the authors frame the intersection of forced migration and IPV as lived experiences and processes marked by complexity and heterogeneity, in which people exercise varying degrees of agency. While numerous challenges impede knowledge production with migrating populations, a growing body of research shines light on the scope of IPV across global contexts and the multiple levels across the social ecology in which factors associated with exposure to and consequences of IPV persist. Together, these elements of complex stories serve as a reminder of the shifting landscapes of forced migration, and how, across time and space, IPV both shapes migration and is shaped by migration. Collaborative partnerships between community-based activist groups, domestic violence and sexual assault agencies, immigrant-led organizations, and agencies serving forced migrants are fundamental to addressing IPV among forced migrant groups across geographic settings. Women with relevant lived experiences must be at the center of advocacy, intervention, and research efforts to address and mitigate intersections of forced migration and IPV
