    Jay Silverman on the Impact of Domestic Violence on Maternal and Child Health

    May 3, 2013 By Carolyn Lamere

    “Violence against women is obviously a major factor in maternal and reproductive health,” says Jay Silverman, co-director of the Program on Gender Inequities and Global Health at the University of California, San Diego, in this week’s podcast. From hypertension to early delivery, “all of these things occur at significantly higher rates among women who have an abusive partner.” Silverman gives an overview of the “state of knowledge” about the effect of abuse on mothers and children and suggested that interventions during antenatal care that targets both women and their partners can reduce this important source of child and maternal morbidity.

    Silverman spoke at the Wilson Center on April 18 as part of the Global Health Initiative’s Advancing Dialogue to Improve Maternal Health series.

      There are all kinds of connections that show the dark side of domestic violence. The children of domestic violence are victims whether or not they experienced the violence personally. They are being trained in the art of violence froma very young age and most are destined to repeat the cycle. at http://www.cdv.org we are determined to educate these children to show them a better way to deal with the stresses that life brings.
