Intimate partner violence against women in Ethiopia and its association with unintended pregnancy: a national cross-sectional survey

ConclusionsIn Ethiopia, which has a high fertility rate (4.6 children per woman) and low use of contraception (36%), IPV including partner controlling behaviour further contributes to the problem of unintended pregnancy. Reproductive health programs should be sensitive to the relational aspects of fertility control and incorporate IPV interventions into reproductive health services.
