Domestic violence against men and same-sex domestic violence are often as less of a threat to society and the people involved, but it's important to keep in mind that male-on-female violence, female-on-male violence, and same-sex violence all have serious short- and long-term health consequences both for victim and the batterer. By comparing current published statistics on the prevalence of domestic violence in heterosexual and homosexual relationships, and analyzing results of existing studies on the short- and long-term health effects of domestic violence, this paper determines whether men or women suffer from more long-term health problems as a result of domestic violence. The findings show that, although men and women suffer many of the same injuries, women are more likely to suffer long-term health issues as a result of domestic abuse. Numerous studies have found links between intimate partner violence (IPV) and depression in women in the worldwide and national literature. This article provides a literature review on the subject. The 75 articles included in this study include both new research projects and secondary assessments of primary data sources. Quantitative and qualitative studies from Western and developing nations are included in the participant research papers published during.
