Paid parental leave policies have the potential to strengthen economic supports, reduce family discord, and provide opportunities to empower women (Basile et al., 2016; Niolon et al., 2017). In this article, we present a theory of change and evidence to suggest how paid parental leave may impact intimate partner violence (IPV). In doing so, we present three mechanisms of change (i.e., reduction in financial stress, increase in egalitarian parenting practices, and promotion of child/parent bonding) through which paid parental leave could reduce rates of IPV. We also describe limitations of the current state of knowledge in this area, as well as opportunities for future research. Ultimately, our goal is to facilitate the identification and implementation of approaches that have the potential to reduce violence at the population level. Paid parental leave embodies the potential of policies to change societal-level factors and serve as an important prevention strategy for IPV.
带薪育儿假政策有可能增强经济支持、减少家庭矛盾，并为赋予妇女权力提供机会（Basile 等人，2016 年；Niolon 等人，2017 年）。在本文中，我们提出了一个变革理论和证据，以说明带薪育儿假如何影响亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）。为此，我们提出了三种变革机制（即减少经济压力、增加平等育儿实践以及促进儿童/父母关系），通过这些机制，带薪育儿假可以降低 IPV 的发生率。我们还描述了该领域现有知识状况的局限性，以及未来研究的机会。最终，我们的目标是促进确定和实施有可能在人群层面减少暴力的方法。带薪育儿假体现了政策改变社会层面因素的潜力，并成为亲密伴侣暴力的一个重要预防策略。
