DETERMINANTS OF WOMEN'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE: EVIDENCE FROM BANGLADESH
- Date Issued:
- 2019
- Abstract/Description:
- This thesis uses Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2014 data to identify the important determinants due to which women justification towards intimate partner violence (IPV) varies. Statistical analyses reveal that among the individual-level independent variables age at first marriage, respondent's education, decision score, religion, NGO membership, access to information, husband's education, normalized wealth score, and division indicator have significant effects on the women's attitude towards IPV. It shows that other than religion, NGO membership, and division indicator, the higher the value of the variable, the lower the likelihood of justifying IPV. However, being a Muslim, NGO member, and resident of other divisions, women are found more tolerant of IPV from their respective counterparts. Among the three community-level variables, only the mean decision score is found significant in lowering the likelihood. The thesis concludes with some policy recommendations and a proposal for future research.
