“…30% of women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence or both on the part of an intimate partner relationship. In most cases, it concerns male violence towards a female partner (Bogat et al, 2016). In Arab and Islamic countries, at the general societal level domestic violence has not yet been identified and acknowledged to its real extent due to reluctance to report, as well as fear of further forms of violence, (Mojahed et al, 2020) despite its increasing frequency and serious consequences (Sezer Kisa & Kisa, 2021).…”

“…Intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) is one of the most common forms of violence against women. The United Nations defines violence against women as “any violent act that leads to harm or suffering to women, whether from a physical, sexual or psychological point of view, including the threat of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether this occurs in public or private life” (Bogat et al, 2016). IPVA occurs in all settings and amongst all socioeconomic, religious and cultural groups.…”

Aims This interview study focuses on the needs and wishes of Arabic‐speaking migrant women in the Netherlands to culturally adapt and optimize the digital support platform SAFE (safewomen.nl) for intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) for their use. Design This is a qualitative interview‐based study. Methods We conducted the study between March 2020 and 2021. The study entailed 16 semi‐structured interviews with Arabic‐speaking women in the Netherlands with a migration background. Results Findings suggest that a cultural gap, a lack of knowledge of the Dutch law, and the prevalence of restrictive gender roles amongst the participants and their spouses affected their acknowledgement of the different forms of IPVA. Furthermore, mental health consequences of IPVA were also strongly stigmatized. Clear information in their native language, summarizing infographics and potential interactive features should be main components of any eHealth intervention for this target group. Conclusion The participants in our study deemed e‐help a potentially valuable support option for women experiencing IPVA in their community. The impact of IPVA on mental health is currently overlooked within this target group and should be emphasized in future interventions. Impact Cultural sensitivity proved crucial in understanding the concepts of IPVA amongst women with migrant backgrounds. To ensure effective eHealth interventions for migrant women, they should be involved in the design and delivery of these interventions.
