This was a 6% increase over the previous year’s figures, indicating that this unfortunate phenomenon is on the rise. HBA predominately affects women and girls and with a concerted multiagency approach and prioritisation of survivors’ safety, it can be prevented. This article explores some of the most prominent cases of HBA in the last two decades and provides guidance on how midwives and students can best support victim-survivors.","PeriodicalId":163461,"journal":{"name":"The Student Midwife","volume":"448 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122798605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
