“Amar te Duele” (“Love Hurts”): Sexual Relationship Power, Intimate Partner Violence, Depression Symptoms and HIV Risk Among Female Sex Workers Who Use Drugs and Their Non-commercial, Steady Partners in Mexico

“…However, previous research with FSWs in Mexico has shown IPV to be associated with history of abuse as a child, having a spouse or steady partner who is having sex with another partner (e.g., partner concurrency), and having less sexual relationship power (26). IPV among general population samples of Mexican women has been shown to be associated with women’s depression, history of child abuse, working outside of the home, and male partners’ unemployment and high frequency of alcohol use (27, 28).

Thus, in Canada it has been reported that Aboriginal people are three times more likely to experience any type of violence than the non-Aboriginal population.…”

“…Thus, in Canada it has been reported that Aboriginal people are three times more likely to experience any type of violence than the non-Aboriginal population. At the same time, it has been found that Native Americans are twice as likely to suffer violence than the general population; as well as in Australia, it has been reported that a quarter of the indigenous population over the age of 15 have been victims of physical violence (6) .
