Although violence is at least as old as human history, it has not been perceived as a serious problem, especially until the last century. But violence, which is experienced every day for different reasons, and which is almost settled in the daily life, comes from individual violence to collective violence in all dimensions. Every year, more than a million people die as a result of violence. Pregnancy, especially unplanned pregnancy, is a significant risk for domestic violence. Family violence during pregnancy is as a major public health problem, especially in low-income countries. Nearly sexual violence during pregnancy is closely related to the nutritional and health problems of the mother and child during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. The reports, along with some health problems during pregnancy, indicate obstetric complications, psychological problems, premature birth, fetal growth tension and fetal/neonatal mortality. Current research shows that the severity exposed during pregnancy is associated with negative consequences such as nutritional security, malnutrition, insufficient pre-born care, premature birth and low birth weight. Moreover, studies with mothers and children who suffered violence during pregnancy show that children are at greater risk in terms of developmental, socio-emotional and behavioral problems. Despite the high prevalence of close gender violence in studies in different countries, the long-term results of babies born from mothers exposed to violence have not been sufficiently studied. The decrease in intimate sexual violence not only improves the well-being and health of women, but also positively affects the growth and development of the child. The purpose of this collection is to discuss the effects of violence applied to pregnant women, during pregnancy and breastfeeding periods, on the health and nutrition of the mother and child.
