The article discusses the establishment of shelters as a novel approach to combating intimate partner violence against women in Iran. It highlights the global prevalence of intimate partner violence and the negative health consequences associated with it. The article emphasizes the importance of shelters as part of a holistic response to survivors and mentions that Iran has already established 26 shelters that provide short-term and long-term services to women in crisis. It also calls for increased funding, specialized staff, and public awareness to empower women and break the stigma associated with shelters.
