South Africa has among the highest rates of IPV and IPV-related fatalities globally. This study examines the factors influencing IPV among ever-partnered women, aged 18 to 49\u2009years, in South Africa. This study analyzed secondary data from the 2016 South Africa Demographic and Health Survey, using a weighted sample of 4,169 women, aged 18 to 49\u2009years. The study focused on the experience of IPV in the 12\u2009months preceding the survey. Univariate, bivariate analysis (\u03c7\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    test), and binary logistic regression analyses were used to explore the relationships between the selected factors and IPV. About 15.0% of women reported experiencing IPV. The findings showed that women aged 18 to 19\u2009years (AOR: 2.23), 25 to 29\u2009years (AOR: 2.10), those with primary (AOR: 1.84) and secondary education (AOR: 1.71), those who witnessed parental violence (AOR: 1.96), accepted wife-beating (AOR: 2.83), and whose partner drank alcohol (AOR: 2.67) had significantly higher odds of experiencing IPV. Conversely, employed women (AOR: 0.74), and women from middle-wealth (AOR: 0.64) and rich households (AOR: 0.58) had lower odds of experiencing IPV. Furthermore, the odds of women experiencing IPV were more than three times higher in the Western Cape (AOR: 3.32), Eastern Cape (AOR: 3.02), and North West (AOR: 3.33) than in the other provinces. The study highlights critical socio-demographic and behavioral factors influencing IPV among women in South Africa. Addressing these factors through targeted interventions and challenging societal norms on violence is important in preventing IPV.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605251375404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,16]],"date-time":"2025-10-16T08:56:51Z","timestamp":1760605011000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Factors Associated with Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence in the 12\u2009Months Preceding the Survey Among Ever-Partnered Women in South Africa"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8868-4563","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephina Kgomotso","family":"Mbele","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"North-West University, Mahikeng Campus, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8115-5527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tshediso Vodka","family":"Barwe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8897-4330","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Langutani Nesco","family":"Miyambu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0580-5508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mluleki","family":"Tsawe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North-West University, Mahikeng Campus, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2888-6056","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maatla Dave","family":"Temane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5451-5761","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lungisile","family":"Shange","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North-West University, Mahikeng Campus, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6588-4271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keatlegile Moses Eskia","family":"Mabena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of South Africa, Main Campus (Muckleneuk), South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3129-3737","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boitshwarelo Keselwetse Mirriam","family":"Ngake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North-West University, Mahikeng Campus, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abrahams N.
