Family violence imposes tremendous costs on victims and society. Rarely are policies focused on the primary prevention of family violence. Given the prevalence of family violence-including child maltreatment and intimate partner violence (IPV)-during the perinatal period, policies targeting this vulnerable time period may be successful in primary prevention. Paid family leave (PFL) programs provide income-replacement during particularly stressful family events, such as the birth of a child.
In this commentary, we describe the conceptual links between PFL, child maltreatment, and IPV, suggesting that PFL may be a promising strategy for the primary prevention of child maltreatment and IPV.
There is emerging evidence that policies targeting the early years of life may reduce child maltreatment and IPV.
Addressing the concrete and economic challenges faced by caregivers is one promising strategy for the prevention of family violence.
家庭暴力给受害者和社会带来了巨大代价。政策很少关注家庭暴力的一级预防。鉴于围产期家庭暴力（包括儿童虐待和亲密伴侣暴力[IPV]）的普遍存在，针对这一脆弱时期的政策可能在一级预防方面取得成功。带薪家庭假（PFL）计划在诸如孩子出生等特别紧张的家庭事件期间提供收入替代。
在本评论中，我们描述了带薪家庭假、儿童虐待和亲密伴侣暴力之间的概念联系，表明带薪家庭假可能是预防儿童虐待和亲密伴侣暴力的一个有前景的策略。
越来越多的证据表明，针对生命早期的政策可能会减少儿童虐待和亲密伴侣暴力。
应对照顾者面临的具体和经济挑战是预防家庭暴力的一个有前景的策略。
