1.        INTRODUCTION

Intimate Partner Violence refers to behaviour within an intimate relationship that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm, including acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviours.

Sexual Violence refers to any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, unwanted sexual comments or advances, or acts to traffic, or otherwise directed against a person’s sexuality using coercion, by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting including but not limited to home and work.

Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence are very much linked to each other in terms of their causes, risks factors and prevention strategies. Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence (IPSV) affects a large proportion of the population – with the majority of those directly experiencing such violence being women and the majority perpetrating it being men.

Melody and harmony are the groundrules for successful relations
