Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Intimate partner violence (IPV) represents a serious violation of human rights and a significant public health issue, especially in contexts marked by structural inequalities, such as countries in the Global South. OBJECTIVES: This protocol describes the methodological procedures for conducting a scoping review that aims to map the scientific evidence on IPV in this context, focusing on prevalence, risk factors, consequences, and response strategies. METHODS: The review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI guidelines, reported following the PRISMA-ScR extension, and registered on the Open Science Framework platform. The research question was structured using the PCC mnemonic. The search strategy will be conducted in the PubMed, VHL, SciELO, ScienceDirect, and ERIC databases, utilizing descriptors and free terms. EXPECTED RESULTS: The review aims to identify patterns, gaps, and relevant recommendations to support future research, professional practices, and public policies aimed at mitigating IPV in socially vulnerable contexts.
