“…The prevalence of violence among sex workers was higher than those among the general population of women in Mongolia (Oyunbileg, Sumberzul, Udval, Wang, & Janes, 2009). Such high prevalence of violence is consistent with studies of FSWs in other parts of the world.…”

Background Although low, HIV prevalence in Mongolia could increase without strategic prevention strategies. Female sex workers (FSWs) often experience barriers to prevention, including interpersonal violence. This study investigated if childhood sexual abuse (CSA) or recent physical or sexual violence was associated with HIV sexual risk behaviours and if CSA modified associations between recent violence and HIV sexual risk behaviours. Methods Two-hundred twenty-two women who: (1) were at least 18 years old and clients at the National AIDS Foundation; (2) reported vaginal or anal sex in the past 90 days in exchange for money or goods; and (3) met criteria for harmful alcohol use in the past year were enrolled. In-person interviews assessed sexual risk behaviours and violence in childhood and adulthood. Negative binomial regression, ordinary least squares regression, and modified Poisson regression were performed. Results Sexual risk with paying partners was associated with penetrative CSA and sexual violence by paying partners. CSA and recent violence were not associated with sexual risk behaviours with intimate partners. CSA modified the association between recent sexual violence and unprotected sex with intimate partners. Conclusion Findings highlight the need for integrated violence and sexual risk reduction services to ensure safe and effective prevention for FSWs.

“…Prior to participating in the intervention, 50% to75% of women in the current study reported experiencing physical violence from a paying partner and 26% to 36% experienced sexual violence from a paying partner in the past 3 months. These rates are more than double the violence rates for women in Mongolia, of whom about 18% experienced physical violence and 10% experienced sexual violence in the past 6 months (Oyunbileg et al, 2009). Our findings also indicate that women who exchange sex are also more likely to experience physical (38%-52%) and sexual violence (12%-16%) from an intimate partner as compared to other women in Mongolia.…”

Women who exchange sex for money or other goods, that is, female sex workers, are at increased risk of experiencing physical and sexual violence from both paying and intimate partners. Exposure to violence can be exacerbated by alcohol use and HIV/STI risk. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a HIV/STI risk reduction and enhanced HIV/ STI risk reduction intervention at decreasing paying and intimate partner violence against Mongolian women who exchange sex and engage in harmful alcohol use. Women are recruited and randomized to either (a) four sessions of a relationship-based HIV/STI risk reduction intervention (n = 49), (b) the same HIV/STI risk reduction intervention plus two additional motivational interviewing sessions (n = 58), or (c) a four session control condition focused on wellness promotion (n = 59). All the respondents complete assessments at baseline (preintervention) as well as at immediate posttest, 3 and 6 months postintervention. A multilevel logistic model finds that women who participated in the HIV/STI risk reduction group (OR = 0.14, p < .00), HIV/STI risk reduction and motivational interview group (OR = 0.46, p = .02), and wellness (OR = 0.20, p < .00) group reduced their exposure to physical and sexual violence in the past 90 days. No significant differences in effects are observed between conditions. This study demonstrates the efficacy of a relationship-based HIV/STI risk reduction intervention, a relationship-based HIV/STI risk reduction intervention combined with motivational interviewing, and a wellness promotion intervention in reducing intimate and paying partner violence against women who exchange sex in Mongolia. The findings have significant implications for the impact of minimal intervention and the potential role of peer networks and social support in reducing women’s experiences of violence in resource poor settings.

“…However, these symptoms are invisible in most cases [11]. Various factors such as poverty, addiction, psychologic disorder, female,alcolism, drug and alcohol use have found as arousing factors in incidence of violence [3,7,[12][13][14]. Also, verbal, physical, and financial violence are related with economic situation of people so that they are prevalent in labors and poor communities [14].…”

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Domestic Violence among Mongolian Women

Abstract: Domestic or intimate partner violence (IPV) is widespread in Mongolia and is usually committed in family circles, often away from public view. This study suggests that increasing employment for men may help reduce poverty and alcohol abuse and, thus, IPV.
