Intimate partner violence: A global challenge to sustainable development

ABSTRACT

Multi-dimensional interventions that incorporate psychological, sociological, public health, and human rights approaches are needed to target behavior change in male intimate partners. [...]if the world must witness a substantial decline in gender-based violence, the lens must be turned to what happens in the private sphere of intimate heterosexual unions where a large proportion of violence against women takes place.
