Abstract

Dating violence encompasses physical, sexual, emotional, and digital abuse, profoundly affecting the physical and psychological well-being of young individuals. The prevalence of dating violence is comparable to marital violence, with women being the primary victims, although violence against men is also notable. Key risk factors include exposure to familial violence, cultural gender roles, peer influence, and substance use. The consequences of dating violence are severe, leading to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim is to mitigate the effects of victimization resulting from dating violence and manipulation, increasingly observed among high school students and young adults, through effective intervention programs. These programs are designed to target the specified age group, promote healthy relationship behaviors, and provide primary and secondary prevention and support to victims. Effective intervention requires both primary and secondary prevention programs targeting high school students and young adults, promoting healthy relationship behaviors and providing support for victims. Comprehensive education, awareness programs, and strong support systems from family and community are crucial in mitigating the effects of dating violence and fostering safer relationships. Despite ongoing publications on the subject, the inadequacy of current reports highlights the need for more frequent and rigorous research in this area. This review underscores the need for increased resources and tailored strategies to address and prevent dating violence, taking into account gender differences in attitudes and perceptions.
