OBJECTIVES: This study aims to address relevant factors influencing the Intimate Partner
Violence (IPV) occurrences against men in Ondo State of Nigeria. Drawing the baseline from the
patriarchal cultural standpoint in which social workers have a vital role in addressing these factors
and profound interventions for the male victims. THEORETICAL BASE: The theoretical
approach uses the multidimensional theory of IPV, which is conversant with Integrative Structural
model of violence, which is more contextual and covers more causes of IPV than one-dimensional
approaches. METHODS: A Phenomenological approach identifies the factors triggering intimate
partner violence (IPV) against men through a qualitative case study method. Data was gathered
by conducting semi-structured interviews with ten (10) men who have experienced violence from
their female partners through purposive sampling, and data were analysed using Interpretative
Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). OUTCOMES: The findings led to the discoveries of factors
that facilitate women’s aggression against men: Financial inconsistency in a relationship, Power
imbalance in a relationship, and conflicts over infidelity in a relationship. SOCIAL WORK
IMPLICATIONS: The study recommends that social workers not assess physical violence only
but all types of abuses that women perpetrate and the factors that trigger their partners’ aggression.
