Abstract
Intimate partner violence (ipv) is a concept primarily associated with abusive manifestations occurring in adult relationships. When children are recognised as part of the phenomenon, they are often referred to as witnesses to their parent’s violence. However, children can be victimised by ipv through multiple exposure scenarios. They can experience ipv as perpetrators, victims or witnesses. The human rights of children can be breached through a failure to provide them with safe social and family spaces critically necessary for their appropriate development. This article identifies State obligations related to the protection of children against teen dating violence and parental intimate partner violence. Moreover, it provides human rights arguments for a change of narrative, encouraging all stakeholders to recognise children as right holders in ipv. Finally, the article raises novel questions regarding the ways in which efforts to prevent ipv affecting children and tdv should be shaped.
