The Indo-Pacific region experiences frequent social, political, and environmental shocks, such as conflicts, health emergencies, economic crises, and disasters, which increase the risk of violence against women (VAW). A scoping review analyzed 203 peer-reviewed studies published from 1993 to 2024, focusing on how these shocks affect VAW patterns in the region. The review highlights that health emergencies, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, were the most studied shocks, followed by armed conflicts and earthquakes. Findings show that these events consistently raise all forms of VAW, notably domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual violence. However, research is limited, with only seven countries contributing the majority of studies, which do not necessarily represent those most impacted by these events. The review emphasizes the urgent need for localized research to inform gender-responsive policies that enhance preparedness and protection in the most affected communities.
