Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a widespread and escalating public health crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since IPV in the home is a major predictor of child abuse and neglect fatalities, understanding its causes and impacts are vital for effective child advocacy. Panelists will discuss how an inter-generational advocacy approach empowers victimized parents, the effects of household IPV on children's mental health, and the current research and policy initiatives that protect and bolster the rights of children at home and in foster care.
