Description

Malikeh Barez and six co-authors review, in 2025 work, how violence from a partner shapes women's reproductive health and the outcomes of pregnancy. Worldwide, about a third of women face such violence in their lives. It can harm both mother and baby, yet past findings on the links have clashed.

The team searched the main medical databases to the start of 2024 and kept thirty-nine studies that fit their rules. Links between violence and plans for children ran both ways across studies: unwanted pregnancy, contraceptive use, and unmet need each tied to violence in some reports and not in others. Links to birth outcomes also clashed. The team calls the picture mixed and urges care in reading single studies.
