Abstract
Pregnancy has been posited as a period of unique vulnerability for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) victimisation. This brief report examined the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on IPV victimisation during pregnancy by measuring post implementation changes in rates, with comparisons to the same period in non-lockdown years.
