Low self-esteem is also a cause of because people that suffer from it tend to develop it. They use violence to do this, and they do not let their partners enjoy the relationship. Depression is also said to cause IPV and those that suffer from it feel better after engaging in it without understanding the effects that the act has on their partners. Some of the effects of IPV are death, physical trauma, and low self-esteem. Kicks, blows, and hard objects are some of the methods that people use to perpetrate IPV, and they have severe effects on the body. Emotional tortures through words that are said to a person as well as rape are also ways that IPV is done. Despite the effects associated with IPV, most women find it hard to leave their relationships as they cannot imagine their lives without them. Some of them love their partners too much and believe that it is their fault that the partners are violent. As a result, they let themselves be abused. Others hope that the partners will change their behaviors while others are afraid to leave because the society expects them to stay.
