“…If we bring together our findings on the impact of experiencing violence in the family home, with the socio-cultural expectations that influence masculine identities, gender inequalities and violence as learnt behaviour, we can see how these different dynamics could combine to increase the likelihood of some men becoming violent. Witnessing and experiencing abuse in childhood does not only lead to internalising aggressive norms and externalising behaviour, but also to a wide range of other internalising psychological and behavioural outcomes, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, social withdrawal, post-traumatic stress, dissociation (Moylan et al, 2010). Researchers have discussed partner violence as learnt social behaviour for both men and women.…”

Appreciation is extended to Graham Gibbs for lending his expertise in the use of NVivo and to Sue Hanson for proof-reading and formatting this report. | P a g e ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe wish to thank the EU Delegation of the European Union to the Eastern Caribbean countries, OECS and CARICOM/CARIFORUM for funding the None in Three project and especially HE Ambassador Mikael Barfod for his vision and persistence in championing human rights and in particular, the rights of women and children. We are humbled by the courage of the women who spoke to us, often in fear that to do so might put them in danger and we thank the men and youth for sharing such unique and valuable insights. This was extremely difficult research to carry out and we could not have done so without the support of the agencies and professionals who helped us to reach out to research participants -thank you. We also wish to acknowledge the many national, regional and international organisations supporting the None in Three project:

“…17,[27][28][29][30] Children who live in homes with intimate partner violence (IPV), as well as other physical and verbal fighting in the home between family members, have higher rates of externalizing behaviors as well as clinical disorders. 27,28,[30][31][32][33][34] Emotion regulation and effortful control, two neurocognitive outcomes linked to externalizing behavior, are also compromised by IPV, with evidence suggesting that parenting can mediate this effect. 35 Such effects may be long lasting, with adults who were exposed to IPV and/or experienced physical maltreatment in childhood at increased risk for perpetrating IPV in adulthood.…”

Role of Direct and Indirect Violence Exposure on Externalizing Behavior in Children

et al. 2016

The objective of this study was to examine the association between externalizing behaviors and indirect violence exposure, assessed both within the household and at the community level, as well as the interaction effect of indirect and direct violence exposure. A sample of parents of children ages 4-15 who have not been referred or enrolled in child welfare (n = 82) were recruited from the greater New Orleans community. Externalizing behavior was assessed with the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The child's indirect exposure to violence included witnessing community violence, witnessing physical assault, and witnessing fighting or domestic violence at home. Direct exposure to violence included the child experiencing physical aggression from a caregiver. All assessments were based on caregiver reports. To decrease potential for confounding, children were matched for analysis based on age, Hurricane Katrina exposure, and their propensity to be exposed to high indirect violence. Cumulative indirect exposure to violence was significantly positively correlated with CBCL scores. After controlling for key covariates, CBCL externalizing T score increased significantly by approximately 1.25 points for each level increase in indirect violence exposure (β = 1.25, SE = 0.57, p = 0.027). There also was a significant interaction between indirect and direct exposure to violence in the association with CBCL score (β = −0.08, SE = 0.03, p = 0.002). These findings extend previous research by demonstrating that exposure to both direct and cross-contextual indirect violence influences externalizing behaviors in children. Additionally, the findings suggest that community and household social environments are both important targets for interventions designed to decrease externalizing behaviors and improve longterm outcomes for youth at risk of exposure to violence.KEYWORDS Childhood exposure to violence, Cumulative exposure to violence, Indirect exposure to violence, Direct exposure to violence, Community violence, Household violence, Child physical aggression, Child externalizing behaviors BACKGROUND

“…Experiencing IPV during pregnancy and in the immediate postpartum period is of particular concern given the adverse health effects for both mother and child. The intergenerational effects of IPV are also well established; IPV during the perinatal period has been linked to negative developmental and health effects among offspring,7 including future episodes of mental health problems 8. Witnessing IPV can also affect the attitudes and behaviors of children, increasing the likelihood that they will either perpetrate or experience IPV as adults 9…”

ObjectiveTo examine the demographic characteristics and mental health of women in rural Zambia who experienced physical intimate partner violence (IPV) postpartum.MethodsThe present secondary analysis was conducted using baseline data from an impact evaluation of a maternity waiting home intervention in rural Zambia. A quantitative household survey was conducted over 6 weeks, from mid‐April to late May, 2016, at 40 rural health facility catchment areas among 2381 postpartum women (13 months after delivery; age ≥15 years).ResultsA total of 192 (8.1%) women reported experiencing any type of physical IPV in the preceding 2 weeks; 126 had experienced severe physical IPV (had been kicked, dragged, beat, and/or choked by a husband or partner). High levels of depression were recorded for 174 (7.3%) women in the preceding 2 weeks. Being a female head of household was associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing severe physical IPV (aOR 2.64, 95% CI 1.70–4.10). Women with high depression scores were also at an increased risk of experiencing any physical IPV (aOR 17.1, 95% CI 8.44–34.9) and severe physical IPV (aOR 15.4, 95% CI 5.17–45.9).ConclusionFuture work should consider the implications of government and educational policies that could impact the screening and treatment of pregnant women affected by all forms of physical IPV and depression in rural Zambia.
