Abstract: Background: Gender-based violence is a globally recognized social problem impacting women and girls worldwide. Intimate partner violence (IPV) represents the most common form of gender-based violence. Among the countries grappling with gender-based violence is Brazil, which has identified high rates of IPV along with co-occurring social conditions such as adverse childhood experiences, community violence, and substance use.

This finding coincides with a broader base of literature that identifies social isolation as a risk factor for IPV (3840) and conversely that social support is protective (41). During the pandemic, many people self-isolated (42).…”

It is known, however, that the use/abuse of legal and/or illicit drugs, whether by the victim or the aggressor, is another factor that appears to be associated with the occurrence of violent acts [33,34].…”
