Food insecurity associated with intimate partner violence among women in Abidjan, Cote d ’Ivoire
Almost 60% of Ivorian women residing in rural, conflict-affected communities report experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) during their lifetime; this can lead to increased risk of negative reproductive and maternal health outcomes [1].

The aim of the present study was to explore associations between food insecurity and IPV among urban Ivorian women. (Source: International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics)
