Abstract
Isolating Gender Violence (IGV) is the violence perpetrated against those who support victims of gender violence and results from such support. Research has shown that overcoming IGV is central to eliminate gender violence. In this regard, a central step occurred in December 2020, when the Catalan Parliament approved by unanimity the creation of a new juridical figure and legal victim that never existed in the world before: victims of IGV. Now, professionals are demanding research evidence on health impacts of IGV to better support these victims. However, while the health consequences of sexual harassment have been widely examined, none analyses about whether and how IGV impacts its victims’ health exist.
