Domestic violence against women is a global problem, and young children are disproportionate witnesses. Children's exposure to domestic violence (CEDV) predicts poorer health and development, but its effects on nutrition and growth are understudied. We propose a conceptual framework for the pathways by which domestic violence against mothers may impair child growth and nutrition, prenatally and during the first 36 months of life. We synthesize literatures from multiple disciplines and critically review the evidence for each pathway. Our review exposes gaps in knowledge and opportunities for research. The framework also identifies interim strategies to mitigate the effects of CEDV on child growth and nutrition. Given the global burden of child malnutrition and its long-term effects on human-capital formation, improving child growth and nutrition may be another reason to prevent domestic violence and its cascading after-effects.
针对妇女的家庭暴力是一个全球性问题，而幼儿是不成比例的目击者。儿童暴露于家庭暴力（CEDV）可预测更差的健康和发育，但对其营养和生长的影响研究不足。我们提出了一个概念框架，用于说明母亲遭受家庭暴力如何在产前和生命的头 36 个月内损害儿童的生长和营养。我们综合了多个学科的文献，并批判性地审查了每条途径的证据。我们的审查揭示了知识差距和研究机会。该框架还确定了减轻 CEDV 对儿童生长和营养影响的临时策略。鉴于儿童营养不良的全球负担及其对人力资本形成的长期影响，改善儿童的生长和营养可能是预防家庭暴力及其连锁后续影响的另一个原因。
