TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - The impact of child polyvictimization and cultural factors on lifetime intimate partner violence among Salvadoran women JO - Violence against women A1 - Kim, Chunrye A1 - Vasquez, Lidia A1 - Rajah, Valli SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - This study examined the impact of child abuse on intimate partner violence (IPV) among a representative sample of 3,296 women using the Violence Against Women National Survey data from El Salvador. We found that child physical, sexual, and psychological abuse were independently associated with IPV, and experiencing child polyvictimization, along with having a controlling husband increased the risk of IPV victimization. To prevent child abuse (poly)victimization and IPV, and its negative consequences in El Salvador, implementing programs that focus on group training for women and men, as well as, community mobilizations that involve multiple stakeholders with multiple approaches would be beneficial.
