Gender and intimate partner violence are widespread, persistent, and devastating, and is intertwined with other forms of power, privilege, and social exclusion. G-IPV is a major issue of debate among human rights activists, professionals working with women, survivors themselves, and the public. The inclusion of G-IPV content in social work education has been a subject of great interest, mostly in the USA, Australia, Asia, and Europe. As survivors, women, and girls comprise the majority of clients of social work services. Though there has been growing consensus and consciousness on G-IPV around the world, the social work curriculum in Botswana is yet to be infused. This paper will develop a rationale for developing a G-IPV course, and present a template for a course outline. The paper will end with a suggestion for a course outline on G-IPV and social work practice in Botswana.
