“…In other Caribbean countries, high rates of physical IPV (45.3–50 %) and sexual IPV (52.8–72.6 %) have been reported (LeFranc et al 2008). A recent analysis of data on IPV from population-based surveys conducted in 12 Latin American and Caribbean countries reported substantial lifetime (13.4–17.2 %) and past year (6.5–12 %) prevalence of physical violence (Bott et al 2012). In Haiti, specifically, 2005 data revealed 19.3 % of women reported ever experiencing physical or sexual assaults from a partner and 17.5 % reporting IPV in the past year (Bott et al 2012).…”

In another pre-earthquake survey, 28.8 % of ever-married women reported having been beaten by a spouse (Martens and Ansley 2007).…”

Objectives Limited research following disasters suggests that internally displaced women are disproportionately vulnerable to violence and abuse. An interdisciplinary collaborative of researchers and practitioners in Haiti, the US Virgin Islands, and the US Mainland investigated gender-based violence (GBV) pre- and post-earthquake and health outcomes among Haitian women living in tent cities/camps following the 2010 earthquake. Methods A comparative descriptive correlational design using culturally sensitive and language appropriate computer-assisted interviews of 208 internally displaced women 2011–2013. Results Found high rates of violence and abuse both before (71.2 %) and after (75 %) p = 0.266, the earthquake primarily perpetrated by boy friends or husbands. Significantly more mental and physical health problems were reported by abused than non-abused women. The majority (60–78 %) of abused women did not report personal or community tolerance for violence and abuse, but acknowledged a community context of limited involvement. Conclusions Coordinated planning and implementation of needed interventions are essential to provide a balanced approach to the care of displaced women after natural disasters with sensitivity to the abusive experiences of many women both before and after the disasters.

“…In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) there is growing concern about violence against women and this has led to legislative efforts in several countries (for a policy review, see ECLAC, 2014). A study of 12 LAC countries -based on data for the 2000s-by Bott et al (2012) indicates that in most cases, between a quarter and a half of women reported that they had suffered intimate partner violence at least once. Analyses of IPVAW in LAC are relatively scarce, partly because information is lacking or too heterogeneous, and this makes it difficult to assess the problem in the region.…”

“…A growing body of IPV research has been documented in various Latin American and Caribbean countries with estimates ranging from 17–52.3% (Bott, Guedes, Goodwin, & Mendoza, 2012). For example, approximately half of the women in Barbados (50%), Jamaica (45.3%) and Trinidad and Tobago (45.2%) reported victimization by an intimate partner (Le Franc, Samms-Vaughan, Hambleton, Fox, & Brown, 2008).…”

This study explored prevalence rates and factors associated with lifetime severe physical intimate partner violence among U.S. Black women. Data from the National Survey of American Life were examined. Rates of severe physical intimate partner violence were higher among African American women compared with U.S. Caribbean Black women. Risk factors associated with reported abuse were similar to those found in earlier studies but differed by ethnic backgrounds. Demographic, resource, and situational factors were associated with severe physical intimate partner violence among U.S. Black women in general but made unique contributions by ethnic group. Implications and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
