“…Significantly more often victims of violence were women with a primary or secondary level of education than women with higher education. A similar correlation (po.05) was found by Lipsky et al 14 Moreover, studies done by Modiba et al 16 showed that women who were unemployed (84%) more often afraid of their partners and experienced all forms of violence in comparison with working women (63%) who most often experienced physical and sexual violence. The data also showed that unmarried women experienced violence more often than married women.…”

Forms of violence that are most often used against pregnant women include physical, psychological and sexual violence. Aim: To determine characteristics of women experiencing violence during pregnancy.Material and methods: One hundred and fourteen women, residents of the province of Lublin, were examined for characteristics of pregnant women experiencing violence. The method used in the study was diagnostic sounding. The technique used was a questionnaire developed by the authors. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous. The results were statistically analyzed. Results and discussion: The analysis showed that 59.7% of the women studied experienced violence during pregnancy. The most common form of violence against the pregnant women was psychological violence (72.5%) and the rarest one was economic violence (26.7%). These percentage differences reached statistical significance (p¼.02). Moreover, the statistically significant correlation was found between experiencing violence and age (p¼.008), level of education (p¼.0001), marital status (p¼ .03) and the occupational activity of examined women (p¼.0001). Conclusions: Psychological and physical violence are the most common forms of violence used against the pregnant women. Unmarried, young women with a low level of education are the group of women who most often experience violence and due to this fact they should be taken into specialist care.

“…These include injuries, damage to the central nervous system, gastrointestinal symptoms and disorders, cardiac symptoms, gynaecological problems, depression, increased aggression, misuse of alcohol and drugs, and post-traumatic stress disorder. IPV during pregnancy, an aspect of IPV in general, is the second highest form of trauma during pregnancy, second only to motor vehicle accidents (Modiba et al, 2011). Studies from around the world reveal that IPV occurs in 2% to 13.5% of pregnancies (Devries, Kishor, Johnson, Stöckl, Bacchus, García-Moreno & Watts, 2010).…”

These percentages are significant as IPV during pregnancy has damaging effects on both mother and child (Campbell, 2002;Jasinski, 2004).…”

Given the high rate of intimate partner violence (IPV), understanding how counsellors talk about IPV and their interventions is important. The authors conducted narrative interviews with eight counsellors from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working with IPV. Using narrative-discursive methodology, this qualitative study paid attention to the discursive resources that the participants drew upon. Two broad clusters of discursive resources and one contradictory ('nurturing femininity') discourse emerged. The first cluster engenders a sense of helplessness in the face of overwhelming power relations; the second enables the counsellors to foresee positive outcomes for their counselling. Implications for counselling include emphasising enabling discourses, highlighting multiplicities of gender, and wider-scale interventions.
