“…Consistent with many studies, 20 – 22 domestic violence not only affects health, but also impacts other aspects of life including employment and the well-being of children who witness violence. Children who are exposed to their parents’ violence may become fearful and anxious; they may always feel the need to be on guard, watching and waiting for the next event to occur.…”

PurposeDomestic violence has been linked to many health consequences. It can impact women’s mental, physical, sexual, and reproductive health, and all of these effects can be long lasting. Despite the growing awareness of the deleterious effects of domestic violence in Thailand, there have been few nation-wide studies that have examined the issue and its consequences. In fact, Thailand has not examined intimate partner violence incidence for the past 20 years. This study aimed to investigate the consequences of domestic violence across the country.Subjects and methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in four areas of Thailand: central, southern, northern, and northeastern. One province in each area was selected by simple random sampling techniques. One thousand four hundred and forty-four married or cohabiting females in a heterosexual union, aged 20–59 years, were included in the sample and were interviewed about their experiences of psychological, physical, and sexual violence by their male partners.ResultsOne thousand four hundred and forty-four women completed the interviews. Sixteen percent of respondents encountered domestic violence in its various psychological, physical, or sexual forms. In the majority of cases, all forms of domestic violence were exerted repeatedly. Four-fifths of women who faced domestic violence reported that it had an impact on their physical and mental health as well as employment. This study also found that half of the domestic violence survivors reported their children had witnessed violent situations. These women exercised four coping strategies to deal with their domestic violence: 1) counseling; 2) requesting help from others; 3) fighting back; and 4) running away from home.ConclusionThe findings confirm that domestic violence has implications that extend beyond health and result in the deterioration of the quality of women’s lives. These results underscore that domestic violence is a serious problem that must be addressed in Thai society.

“…This can have effects that persist beyond the particular episode. Caregivers involved will be affected by relational context of IPV as it interferes with everyday functioning including caretaking (Letourneau et al, 2011;Pels et al, 2015). For example, in a recent study using an experimental maternal mild stress paradigm (listening to aberrant infant cries), the vocalizations of stressed mothers with their infants during face-to-face play lacked typical prosodic features and their infants were more likely to get distressed.…”

Early exposure to adversities, such as witnessing intimate partner violence (IPV) can have long‐lasting impact on infants behavioral, emotional, and neurological development. Yet, research so far has focused on how IPV affects the well‐being of women or on the retrospective effects in older children. The first 2 years of life are characterized by rapid development of brain and behavior, making infants even more vulnerable than women or older children to the detrimental effects of exposure to violence. The goal of this review is to summarize the scientific findings on the effects of IPV on infant brain maturation and related socioemotional development. We describe effects of violence on attachment, symptoms of trauma in infants, and possible pathways involved in how IPV exposure may affect maturation of brain regions related to emotional regulation. We relate affected brain structures to development of stress reactivity (amygdala), memory (hippocampus), the processing of witnessed events itself (auditory and visual cortex), and how these consequences relate to potential subsequent psychopathology.

Background: This study aimed to obtain an overview of survivors of gender-based violence GBV who seek care, different types and consequences of (GBV), their modes of referral, factors associated with GBV, characteristics of the perpetrators, health-seeking behavior of the care-seekers and the service provided by GBV Care Centers in two tertiary care settings Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2019 at two GBV care centers in a Women’s Hospital and a General Hospital in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Sociodemographic details of care-seekers, referral methods, types of violence experienced and their consequences, factors associated with GBV, characteristics of the perpetrator, health seeking behavior of those seeking care, and the services provided, were obtained from the hospital records. Results: Records from all care seekers (n=495 women, no men) were obtained, and 488 were suitable for analysis. More women presented with GBV to the Women’s Hospital compared to the General Hospital (395 vs 93, p<0.001), and there were significant differences in modes of referral between the two hospitals. A large majority had suffered emotional and economic violence, although physical or sexual violence were the reasons for referral to the centers. Suicidal tendencies had been reported by 20%. In 94.2% of cases the husband, lover or partner was the perpetrator. Physical violence was more likely in married women, those who did not report a stable relationship, and in those who were employed. Of the 488 women, 37% were pregnant at the time of violence. Most of the women had confided with another female about the violence. Less than 5% came for follow-up. Conclusions: GBV care services should be offered in all hospitals, especially those providing maternity and gynaecological care. Emotional and economic violence are common but often overlooked. There is a need to increase public awareness about GBV.
