“…Targeting female literacy or educational expansion-a focus of campaigns to reduce IPV (Weitzman 2018)may result in a greater risk of IPV for those who still retain elements of target suitability or who lack guardians in more equitable contexts. These individual differences showcase the variability across the Global South and that one's experience within these contexts is also key (Bhardwaj and Miller 2021). It cautions that these massive societal transformations or programs that promote gender equity might continue to impact the most vulnerable in unexpected ways.…”

“…The ability to include the local context and estimate cross-level interactions in these models captures the importance of locality and reinforces that the Global South is not monolithic. The theoretical framework that is developed below recognizes these shared patterns while engaging in careful contextual grounding (Bhardwaj and Miller 2021).…”

“…As such, scholars have continued to investigate the experience of sexual violence (Fisher, Daigle, and Cullen 2010), stalking (Mustaine and Tewksbury 1999), and IPV (Gover 2004;Hayes 2018;Outlaw 2015) through a RAT framework that integrates gendered relations. Nevertheless, this critique is pertinent when considering the lived experiences of women in the Global South that have often been treated as monolithic (Bhardwaj and Miller 2021).…”

Objectives: Building on the ecological model, multicontextual opportunity theory, and southern criminology, the study developed individual- and country-level indicators of opportunity to understand the experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) among married women in the Global South. Opportunity-related indicators considered the impact of globalization and variability across nations categorized as part of the Global South. Methods: Relying on data from the Demographic and Health Surveys and open-source country indicators, mixed effects logistic regression examined opportunity-related indicators on a sample of married women ( N = 239,554) from the Global South ( N = 41). Results: Exposure to motivated offenders was associated with higher odds of IPV. Individual-level vulnerability was associated with higher odds of IPV. Isolation and interviews that were interrupted, indicators of guardianship, were associated with higher odds of IPV while the number of people in the household was associated with lower odds. More Parliamentary seats held by women was associated with higher odds of IPV. Nine cross-level interactions were significant. Conclusions: National-level factors moderated the influence of individual-level opportunity, reinforcing the Global South is not monolithic. The traveling of IPV programing from the Global North to the Global South is likely ineffective. Programs must consider how context shapes individual experiences.

“…One possible explanation of the lack of influence of sexual IPV on contraceptive use in Sri Lanka might be increased societal acceptance of birth spacing and small family sizes, thus separating sexual violence from the reproductive coercion that it is associated with in other South Asian countries. This possible difference in family size preference might be influenced by Sri Lanka's high rates of education for women compared to other South Asian countries, which may also explain Sri Lanka's differing rates and consequences of IPV [47]. Past year physical IPV was only associated with changes in primary contraceptive method type in districts that were distal to conflict, where it was associated with decreased relative risk of both sterilization and traditional methods.…”

Women’s primary contraceptive method type is impacted by the gender inequities of girl child marriage and intimate partner violence (IPV). Outside of South Asia, proximity to conflict zones has been found to impact contraceptive use, girl child marriage, and IPV, possibly moderating associations between these variables. We created multinomial regression models using the 2016 Demographic and Health Survey data from postconflict Sri Lanka to study associations between primary contraceptive method type (modern spacing methods, sterilization, and traditional methods compared to no method) and the gender inequities of girl child marriage and past year sexual, physical, and emotional IPV and to assess whether and how these associations were moderated by proximity to conflict. We found that proximity to conflict moderated the relationships between girl child marriage, past year physical and emotional IPV, and primary contraceptive method type. Girl child marriage was associated with increased relative risk (RR) of modern spacing methods (adjusted RR ratio/aRRR: 1.81–2.21) across all levels of proximity to conflict. In districts distal to conflict, past year physical IPV was associated with decreased RR of sterilization (aRRR: 0.67) and traditional methods (aRRR: 0.63), and past year emotional IPV was associated with decreased RR of traditional methods (aRRR: 0.71). In districts central to conflict, past year emotional IPV was associated with increased RR of modern spacing methods (aRRR: 1.50). Our findings suggest that policymakers and providers who seek to improve reproductive health in Sri Lanka must consider the moderating impact of proximity to conflict on the relationship between contraceptive use and the gender inequities of girl child marriage and IPV.

“…And most points are in domestic violence, up to 6480 issues (Komnas Perempuan, 2021). Domestic violence against women is a global phenomenon controlling countless victims (Bhardwaj & Miller, 2021;Sundarajan & Spano, 2004). We can see domestic violence to wives by the husband and, in many cases, sexual, physical, economic, and psychologies.…”

The wife is one of the potential victims of domestic violence. In patriarchal culture and social construction norms, the wife must obey all of their husband's requests. Hence, they became vulnerable and got physical, sexual, economic, and many forms of domestic violence. Based on radical feminist theory, human rights concepts, and interpersonal communication theory, this article builds the idea to prevent domestic violence for wives by reconstructing their rights to freedom of opinion and expression. This research-based is on a literature review from scientific articles, books, and reports. After it, analyze with standpoint feminism. The result is that two points. First, in cultural and logical patriarchal, wives need interpersonal communication training to get equality when talking with their husbands. Second, reconstruction about wives' awareness about freedom to opinion and expressions is necessary, so they do not fear to say no to their husbands and love themselves first. Finally, to prevent domestic violence against wives needs implementation of freedom to opinion and expressions in everyday life.
