ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread phenomenon that affects the physical and mental well-being of victims. Several barriers prevented sufferers from receiving face-to-face interventions.

Methods and analysis

Eighty-six women who were victims of IPV during the COVID-19 outbreak will be recruited by the Interdepartmental
