An exploratory study of economic abuse among substance-involved women in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia

Economic violence against women: A case in Turkey

“…Also in the United States in another study conducted with university students, it was determined that 77% of those who reported any IPV experience (physical, sexual, or psychological abuse) were exposed to at least one experience of economic violence [ 17 ]. It was found in a study conducted in Poland that 8.8% of the participants were victims of economic violence [ 58 ], 89% of the participants in a study conducted in Kyrgyzstan experienced at least some form of economic abuse [ 40 ], 19% of the women in a study conducted in Croatia were exposed to economic violence [ 59 ], and it was found that 50.4% of the men in a study in Laos perpetrated economic violence against their spouses [ 29 ]. 27% of pregnant women in a study conducted in Ethiopia [ 2 ], 52% of women in a study conducted in Ghana [ 60 ], 10.8% of women in a study conducted in Spain [ 7 ] and 18.9% of women in a study conducted with refugees in Italy were found to have been exposed to economic violence [ 61 ].…”

“…The age of the partner is also significantly associated with women’s IPV [ 2 ]. In particular, it was found that women who reported economic abuse by an intimate partner were older and younger women were less likely to report economic abuse [ 25 , 40 ]. In a study conducted, experts stated that young adults experience economic abuse, negative economic conflict, and economic control.…”

“…There is also a relationship between the economic abuse of the partner and the state of parenthood. In particular, women who do not have children are less likely to report economic abuse by their partners [ 40 ]. Women who had more live births are marginally less likely to report only economic violence than women who had fewer live births [ 25 ].…”

“…Women who had more live births are marginally less likely to report only economic violence than women who had fewer live births [ 25 ]. Women who report economic abuse by an intimate partner are more likely to have children [ 39 , 40 ]. Older people who live with their children are exposed to economic violence significantly more than those who do not [ 49 ].…”

“…Economic abuse can increase the risk of other forms of violence, including physical, emotional, and sexual violence. Scientific studies show strong positive relationships between economic abuse and both physical and emotional violence [ 37 , 38 , 40 ]. Economic abuse tends to occur along with other forms of violence and may coincide as part of controlling behavior [ 38 ].…”
