Violence During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period

Our piece about domestic violence during the holidays and pregnancy generated a lot of interest and we’ll be revisiting the topic from time to time. It cuts across all spectrums of society and affects more women than even we realized.  We found this excellent piece published on VAWNet.org - the National Online Resource Center on Violence Against Women:  Violence During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period written by Sandra L. Martin, Jennet Arcara, and McLean D. Pollock with contributions from Lonna Davis (December 2012). Check out the piece here.
