This panel delves into the multifaceted consequences of global disasters and cross-national variations in violence. Drawing on empirical data and theoretical frameworks, this panel explores predictors of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization, particularly in Ukraine's most vulnerable populations during the war. We also consider the unique intersections of war and COVID-19-related stressors, emphasizing the influence of traumatic events, daily stressors, mental health issues, and social support networks. By examining the intersection of these factors, the research illuminates the complex dynamics of violence in diverse contexts. By illustrating this nuanced relationship, we hope to provide informed, targeted interventions and policies to mitigate the adverse effects of violence in crisis-affected populations.
