“…Women who made decisions jointly with their husband/partner, however, had the lowest risk of psychological, physical, or sexual violence. Our results are in agreement with numerous reports from a diverse population of women (Jewkes, 2002;Hindin & Adair, 2002;Gage, 2004;Rahman, Nakamura, Seino, & Kizuki, 2013;Svec & Andic, 2018;Xu, Kerley, & Sirisunyaluck, 2011).…”

Women’s household decision-making, a reflection of interpersonal power dynamics in intimate relationships is assumed to play a central role in eliminating violence against women. Thus we sought to examine the association between women’s household decision-making autonomy and the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among Ethiopian women. We used data gathered in the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS-2016). We limited our study to ever-married women (aged: 15 - 49 years) who responded to the domestic violence questions (n = 4,469). Sampling weights were applied and effects associated with complex survey design were accounted for. Overall, 24%, 23.1%, and 10.1% of women have experienced emotional abuse, physical violence, or sexual violence, respectively in their lifetimes. The relationship between demographic variables and IPV were inconsistent and mostly non-significant. We found significant association between decision-making autonomy and IPV variables. Women who made decisions jointly with their husbands/partners had lower risk of domestic violence as compared to women with low level of household decision-making autonomy. No significant difference between women in the low and high level of decision-making groups. Egalitarian family power structures may be beneficial toward reducing IPV and achieving gender equality in Ethiopia.

“…The chances of physical, emotional and sexual violence were decreased among women who had decision making autonomy than their counterparts. This nding is in line with other studies that was conducted in Uganda (37), in Ghana (33) and in Peru (32). This consistency could be supported by a male-dominated marital power structure has been documented to be highly related with marital con ict and husband-to-wife violence (48).…”

Background: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is the most serious and pervasive yet under recognized human rights violation in the world as well as in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to find the spatial distribution of IPV and its determinant factors in Ethiopia. Methods: Secondary data analysis was conducted among 2,687 reproductive age group women (15–49 years). The distribution of IPV across the country was observed by ArcGIS software. In SaTScan software, the Bernoulli model was fitted by Kulldorff methods to identify the purely spatial clusters of IPV. Generalized Structural Equation Model (GSEM) was used to determine factors associated with each domain of IPV (physical, emotional & sexual violence).Result: The spatial distribution of IPV was found to be clustered in Ethiopia with Global Moran’s I 0.09 (p < 0.001) and the highest IPV cluster was observed in Oromia (p < 0.001), Somali (p < 0.001) and Southern Nation and Nationality and Peoples (SNNP) (p < 0.001) regions . Watching television and not having attitudes toward wife beating were negatively associated with physical violence. Being richest and nonsmoker were inversely associated with emotional violence. The odds of experiencing sexual violence were increased among pregnant and wife of uneducated husband/partner. Women’s decision-making autonomy and husband/partner drinking alcohol have positive and negative association with all domains of IPV respectively. Conclusions: There was a significant clustering of IPV in Ethiopia and the highest IPV cluster was observed in Oromia, Somali and SNNP regions. Being richest, watching television, not having attitudes toward wife beating, women’s decision autonomy and husband’s/partner’s high education and non-alcohol drinker status were negatively associated with IPV. The likelihood of experiencing IPV was also increased among smoker and pregnant women. We recommend that improving the economic status of the household and power of women's decision autonomy, increasing community awareness about the consequences of IPV with particular emphasis in Oromia, Somali and SNNP regions.

“…Researchers using the continuous Peru DHS from 2005-2012 found that each additional joint decision was associated with 9 percent lower odds of moderate physical violence and 16 percent lower odds of severe physical violence. They also found that women-only decision making did not have a signi cant effect on IPV (15). We found that joint-decision making was more strongly protective against IPV than women-alone decision making.…”

“…(12,13). Some studies report that women-alone decision making is not signi cantly associated with IPV, while joint-decision making is a protective factor (14,15). Other studies have found that joint-decision making is negatively associated with IPV, while women-alone decision making is positively associated with IPV (16).…”

Background Thirty percent of all women experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime. The aim of this study was to examine the association between the World Health Organization’s (WHO) novel R.E.S.P.E.C.T framework for intervention and IPV prevalence among women in Kenya. Methods We used the 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS). Only women selected for the domestic violence module and who were married/living with their partner were eligible for this study (n=3,737). We created a summary score for each strategy denoted by R.E.S.P.T based on availability of questions addressing these strategies in the KDHS, and a total score that summed responses across all strategies. Each letter was assessed with Cronbach’s Alpha. Multiple logistic regression models were used to investigate the relationship between R.E.S.P.T scores and IPV.Results All strategies except for E lowered the odds of IPV. Decision-making (R) was negatively associated with experiencing IPV (OR = 0.62 [0.53-0.72]). Land and property ownership (E) were positively associated with experiencing IPV (OR = 1.25 [1.08-1.43]). Access to health care (S) was negatively associated with experiencing IPV (OR = 0.55 [0.48-0.63]). Higher levels of wealth (P) were negatively associated with experiencing IPV (OR = 0.47 [0.37-0.62]). Not justifying wife-beating in any scenario (T) was negatively associated with experiencing IPV (OR = 0.39 [0.29-0.53]). After adjusting for demographics, a 1-unit increase in total R.E.S.P.T score was negatively associated with experiencing IPV (AOR= 0.63 [0.57-0.70]) with a similar finding for IPV in the past 12 months (AOR = 0.59 [0.53-0.66]). Younger age, higher education, and Muslim religion were associated with decreased odds of experiencing IPV while living in a rural location and working were associated with increased odds of experiencing IPV.Conclusions Our study provides initial evidence that by implementing the multi-strategy R.E.S.P.E.C.T framework, countries can dramatically lower the odds of women experiencing IPV. The DHS can be used as a tool to monitor implementation and efficacy of this novel strategy.
