Intimate partner violence (IPV) is one of the most common forms of violence in relationships, but how does the experience of IPV differ between countries? IPV includes physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and controlling behaviours by an intimate partner. Join us for a conversation to compare and contrast work on IPV in two settings: Cameroon and Black communities in the UK.
