Intimate partner violence (IPV) occurs between two people in a close relationship. The term “intimate partner” includes current and former spouses and dating partners. IPV exists along a continuum from a single episode of violence to ongoing battering. IPV includes four types of behavior:
​
-
Physical violence is when a person hurts or tries to hurt a partner by hitting, kicking, or other type of physical force.
-
Sexual violence is forcing a partner to take part in a sex act when the partner does not consent.
-
Threats of physical or sexual violence include the use of words, gestures, weapons, or other means to communicate the intent to cause harm.
-
Emotional abuse is threatening a partner or his or her possessions or loved ones, or harming a partner’s sense of self-worth.
​
Examples are stalking, namecalling, intimidation, or not letting a partner see friends and family. Often, IPV starts with emotional abuse. This behavior can progress to physical or sexual assault. Several types of IPV may occur together.
