Abstract

A substantial body of research has established a positive association between exposure to intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) and childhood experiences of violence. However, limited evidence exists on this association in Ethiopia, particularly within humanitarian settings, where children and youth face compounded vulnerabilities. This paper examines the association between witnessing IPVAW during childhood and experiences or perpetration of violence among children and youth aged 13–24 years living in refugee camps in Ethiopia.
