This is an issue that affects vast numbers of women throughout all nations of the world. [...] Although there are cases in which men are the victims of domestic violence, nevertheless 'the available research suggests that domestic violence is overwhelmingly directed by men against women [...] In addition, violence used by men against female partners tends to be much more severe than that used by women against men.

Women’s motivations tended to be more closely related to expression of feelings and response to a partner’s abuse than to the desire for coercive control. Women use control to gain autonomy in relationships, whereas men use control to demonstrate authority. Evidence suggests that women commonly use IPV in response to their partner’s violence either in self-defense or in retaliation. Anger expression was a recurrent theme, and women frequently stated that they used IPV because they felt ignored.
Intimate male partners are most often the main perpetrators of violence against women, a form of violence known as intimate partner violence, 'domestic' violence or 'spousal (or wife) abuse.' Intimate partner violence and sexual violence, whether by partners, acquaintances or strangers, are common worldwide and disproportionately affect women, although are not exclusive to them.

Females reported using violence in response to prior abuse, citing revenge and retaliation as a primary motivation. Because treatment approaches are commonly derived from the power and control model, which indicates that violence is used to gain power and control, batterer intervention counseling may not be appropriate for women, who appear more motivated by the desire to maintain personal liberties in a relationship where they have been victimized.
