**Purpose of Activity/Assignment**

It is well documented that armed conflict increases instances of partner violence, and the unique stressors of military life and readjustment to civilian life following military duty have been documented to impact relationship satisfaction and vulnerability factors and may lead to higher rates of IPV. Research indicates that women whose partners have been involved in conflict are more exposed to physical and/or sexual violence than those whose partners have not. The unique risk factors for IPV perpetration among military personnel and veterans include witnessing and experiencing abuse in childhood, previous violence victimization and perpetration, social deprivation, substance abuse disorders, and mental health disorders. Indeed, a growing evidence base links mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD with increased risk of IPV perpetration. Occupation-specific risk factors have also been identified, with evidence suggesting that length of deployment and combat stress are associated with increased domestic violence (DV) perpetration. Given the current participation of military service men and women in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, as well as the prevalence of gender-based violence prior to the full-scale conflict, these trends are concerning.

There is strong evidence indicating that intimate partner violence against women often intersects with violence against children. Research shows that children raised in homes where partner violence occurs are more likely to experience violent discipline by both male and female caregivers. Violent discipline and intimate partner violence have similar consequences for children’s and women’s health. Children’s exposure to either violent discipline or IPV is associated with negative impacts on their physical and mental health, their cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral development, and their educational outcomes. Research also demonstrates that experiencing childhood violence increases boys’ risk of perpetration and girls’ risk of experiencing IPV in adolescence or adulthood.

These risks are compounded by the recognition that humanitarian crises affect women and girls differently and disproportionately, including disproportionate physical and mental health impacts compounded by reduced access to healthcare; an increase in the burden of care and unpaid labor; disproportionate losses of economic and educational opportunities; unequal access to humanitarian assistance, information and resources; and increased rates of violence again women and girls. As a result, the linkages between IPV and service or former service as a member of the armed forces, particularly within humanitarian settings, is being increasingly recognized as requiring specific attention.

The implications for gender-based violence (GBV) and MHPSS integrated service delivery with veterans, their partners and families in community-based settings, are significant. There is a need for all service providers to be cognizant of specific risks to survivors who experience violence from a current or former member of the armed forces, as well as the intersectionality with violence against children. The importance of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) as a part of GBV prevention, risk and response programming, should be considered, given that mental health and psychosocial reactions and conditions are both a risk factor for the perpetration of IPV, and an outcome of the impacts of IPV. Addressing the mental health and psychosocial needs of survivors and those disproportionately at risk of GBV is critical to promoting healing and amplifying positive outcomes across development.

**Scope of Work**

To support UNICEF’s GBV and MHPPS interventions in addressing the links between intimate partner violence and military service members and veterans, and the intersections with violence against girls and boys, the consultant will be responsible for the following scope of work:
1. In-depth reviews of existing global best-practices in relation to 1) working with military service members/veterans and their families to prevent and mitigate the risks of IPV and other types of violence within the family and 2) in relation to working with survivors of IPV and child survivors of violence
- The in-depth reviews should include including:

- Evidence-based MHPSS interventions that support IPV and domestic violence (D
