Abstract

Prevention of sexual and intimate partner violence before it occurs in the first place must ultimately be our goal. Prevention is often separated into three phases: Primary prevention, are those interventions and approaches that aim to prevent violence before it occurs; whilst secondary and tertiary prevention, involve approaches that focus on the more immediate responses to violence and the long-term care post violence.
