Background: Young women and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Non-binary/no gender, or Questioning (LGBTQ+) youth in South Africa face some of the highest global levels of intimate partner violence (IPV). Given limited evidence in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has fuelled IPV globally, we aimed to describe and compare experiences and perpetration of IPV of youth aged 16-24 by sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). Methods: December 2021-May 2022, youth aged 16-24 years from eThekwini district, South Africa completed an online survey to understand multilevel impacts of the pandemic on youth. Participants were asked about experiences and perpetration of physical IPV since the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics and adjusted logistic regressions compared the likelihood of experiencing and/or perpetrating physical IPV between heterosexual men; heterosexual women; gay, bisexual, or questioning men [GBQM; lesbian, gay, bisexual, or questioning women [LGBQW]; or gender/sexual non-conforming youth [non-conforming]. Results: Of 1,584 youth (mean age=21.7 [SD=2.3]; 71.7% Black) with non-missing SOGI and physical IPV data, 239 (15.1%) were LGBTQ+ (40.6% LGBQW and 36.0% non-conforming). The proportion of youth both experiencing and perpetrating physical IPV differed by SOGI (13.3% of heterosexual men, 14.1% of heterosexual women, 23.2% of GBQM, 20.8% of LGBQW, and 25.6% of non-conforming youth experienced and 10.9% of heterosexual men; 7.7% of heterosexual women; 10.7% of GBQM; 16.5% of LGBQW; and 16.3% of non-conforming youth perpetrated). In adjusted models, compared to heterosexual women, non-conforming youth had increased odds of experiencing (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=2.73; 95%CI, 1.57-5.06) physical IPV and non-conforming youth (aOR=3.02; 95%CI, 1.42-6.41), LGBQW (aOR=2.09; 95%CI, 1.06-4.09), and heterosexual men (aOR=1.55; 95%CI, 1.01-2.37) all had greater odds of perpetrating physical IPV during the pandemic. Conclusion: In the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, over one in six youth in our study experienced and one in ten perpetrated physical IPV, with gender and sexual non-conforming youth experiencing and perpetrating IPV at significantly greater rates than cisgender/heterosexual peers. Our findings highlight the need for gender transformative efforts that move beyond the gender binary to support healthy relationships and IPV prevention for LGBTQ+ youth in South Africa and globally.

“…Second, it is also possible that, as observed in the mediation model, emotion dysregulation nullified the effect of internalized homonegativity, which was, however, not found also at the bivariate level. Third, according to existing literature, internalized homonegativity was generally found to be associated with IPV [ 19 ]. However, when considering specific types of violence, results have shown to be more inconsistent.…”

“…Beyond similarities between IPV in sexual minorities and heterosexual people, due to their marginalized status, sexual minorities can also face SSIPV-specific risk factors such as minority stress [ 19 ]. Minority stress refers to an additional stress factor, given by the minority status, that is chronical and deeply rooted in the heterosexist context [ 20 , 21 ].…”

Same-sex intimate partner violence (SSIPV) is a serious health concern and may manifest in various forms. Nevertheless, controlling behaviors of isolation are still poorly investigated. Due to their marginalized status, sexual minorities can face SSIPV-specific risk factors, such as internalized homonegativity, as well as general psychological stress factors, such as emotion dysregulation. While the literature is growing, there is still a lack of understanding of the complex pathways linking sexual minorities and minority stress to IPV and isolating controlling behavior. To fill this gap, we explored the relation between internalized homonegativity and controlling behaviors of isolation, assessing the mediating role of emotion dysregulation. In total, 120 gay and lesbian people (mean age = 33.8, SD = 11.5) involved in a same-sex relationship participated in the study. Results showed a direct and positive association between internalized homonegativity and difficulties in emotion regulation and a direct and positive association between emotion dysregulation and controlling behaviors of isolation; the mediating role of emotion dysregulation in the relation between internalized homonegativity and isolating controlling behaviors was supported as well. Emerging results can provide valuable information at the clinical level, although further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

“…Nevertheless, many variables were found to be associated with IBSA victimization, perpetration, and propensity to perpetrate IBSA, although effect sizes observed in the quantitative studies ranged from small to moderate. These findings seem to indicate that many variables (e.g., psychological, relational, and social) can have a role in IBSA, as emerge for intimate partner violence (Hardesty & Ogolsky, 2020), and Same-Sex Intimate Partner Violence (Trombetta & Rollè, 2022). Accordingly, most of the considered socio-demographic variables were associated with IBSA perpetration and victimization, but not with the propensity to perpetrate IBSA.…”

Purpose Image-Based Sexual Abuse (IBSA) is a recently studied form of violence and abuse perpetrated using technology. This systematic review aims to examine and systematize studies exploring factors associated with IBSA (e.g., victimization, perpetration, and propensity to perpetrate). Method Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement, 17 articles were included. Results The results of this study highlighted conceptual and methodological limitations in the literature on IBSA. Aside from these limitations, this systematic review identified factors associated with IBSA, focusing on four macro-areas: victimization, perpetration, propensity to perpetrate IBSA, and IBSA implications. The results demonstrated the role of psychological, relational, and social variables, although the effect sizes observed in the quantitative studies were small or in few cases moderate. Conclusions These results suggest further research should be carried out to explore the multidimensionality of IBSA and its associated factors, which may assist in guiding interventions to promote preventive and rehabilitative methods to lower the prevalence of this crime and its consequences.
