RESUMOObjetivo: analisar notificações de violência contra a mulher. Método: estudo quantitativo, descritivo, desenvolvido a partir de dados secundários provenientes do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação. Resultados: das 401 notificações de violência à mulher, 61% foram contra mulheres entre 25 e 59 anos, pardas ou pretas (63%), solteiras (29%), com menos de nove anos de escolaridade (39%) e que dependiam financeiramente de outra pessoa; 46% das agressões ocorreram na residência, sendo 99% por violência física e 69% por força corporal/espancamento, e os autores foram homens. Conclusão: constatou-se a ampliação do número de notificações, contudo, ainda insuficiente para superar as subnotificações de ocorrências de violência contra a mulher, motivo principal da invisibilidade desse fenômeno.

Abstract Background Intimate Partner Violence is a great public health concern with economic, physical, mental, sexual and reproductive health consequences. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of intimate partner violence against women and associated factors in Ethiopia.Methods A secondary data analysis was carried out based on the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey 2016. Both single and multilevel logistic regressions were employed.Results Among ever-married women (15-49 years old) who have been participated in this study, 22.3%, 7.6% and 6.1% of women have experienced emotional, sexual and physical violence respectively. The prevalence of intimate partner violence was found to be 25.6%. Partner’s desire for children, number of living children, women ever chewed chat, husband/partner drinks alcohol, respondent's occupation, number of other wives, type of place of residence were found to be significant determinants of intimate partner violence.Conclusion More than 1 in 4 ever married women in Ethiopia have experienced violence from their intimate partners. The government’s effort towards elimination of violence against women should be well strengthened by addressing intimate partner violence disparity in Ethiopian regions and also taking in to account other identified factors of intimate partner violence in this study.

Nutritional Status Of Children

Background: Endemicity of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is established globally. Children are directly dependent on mothers for care and nourishment. Literature has shown inconsistent association between IPV and nutritional status of children, and no nationwide study has been conducted in Pakistan to test this association. Thus, we aimed to do a secondary data analysis on Pakistan Demographic Health Survey (PDHS 2012-13) to explore the association of IPV and the nutritional status of children.Methods: This secondary data analysis was conducted on nationally representative data of PDHS 2012-13. All four provinces, including Islamabad Capital Territory and Gilgit Baltistan districts were taken, and two stage stratified random sampling was performed. The conflict tactics scale (CTS) was used to quantify Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and its emotional and physical dimensions.Results: This study included mother-child dyads (n=1851) who completed the domestic violence module in PDHS. The lifetime prevalence of intimate partner violence was almost 40% among married women of reproductive age group. About 20% of women reported emotional violence and 2.5% women reported physical violence only. However, 16% of the women reported having suffered from both emotional and physical violence. Women who suffered from emotional violence had children with significantly higher odds of being underweight (OR, 95% CI: 1.57, 1.04-2.36) and stunted (OR, 95% CI: 1.54, 1.05-2.24) respectively. IPV was not found to be significantly associated with occurrence of wasting in children.Conclusions: Policy implications towards this issue call for establishing programmes and laws to protect women and children from the detrimental effects of violence. Provision of initiatives which focus on women autonomy and empowerment via increased access to education and economic opportunities.

One in three women experiences sexual or physical violence at some point in their life (“A Staggering One-in-Three Women”, 2019). In the last 12 months alone, 243 million girls between the ages of 15 and 49 were subjected to sexual or physical violence by an intimate partner (“Violence against Women”, n.d.). During the COVID-19 pandemic, sudden shifts in routine have made this situation a “ticking time bomb” for the exponential growth in rates of crimes against women (Campbell, 2020).

Abstract Background This study aimed to assess the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and its correlates, amongst currently married Saudi women. Methods A total of 400 currently married females aged 19–65 years old who attended the outpatient clinics of PHC centres in Riyadh, from 1 November 2015 to 1 February 2016, were screened for the current and previous experiences with IPV, and its correlates, using the previously validated Arabic version of the WHO multi-country instrument on violence against women. Logistic regression analyses were applied to identify the correlates of IPV. Results The lifetime overall prevalence of IPV was 44.8%, in the form of; physical (18.5%), emotional (25.5%), sexual (19.2%) and economic (25.3%) violence. Wife’s experience of child abuse was significantly associated with physical [OR = 3.63, P < 0.001], emotional [OR = 2.2, P = 0.004], sexual [OR = 2.42, P = 0.006], economic [OR = 2.24, P = 0.006] and overall IPV [OR = 2.76, P < 0.001], whilst husband’s experience was significantly associated with only the emotional violence [OR = 2.4, P = 0.004]. Physical violence was significantly more prevalent when the woman lived with other wife in same house. Conclusion IPV with its all forms was prevalent amongst Saudi women. Child abuse experience and polygamy were significantly associated with IPV. Designing tailored IPV national prevention programmes is a necessity.

Diante de poucos estudos referentes à epidemiologia dos casos de violência contra crianças e adolescentes praticados no país, com resultados ainda menores ao se restringir ao Estado de Minas Gerais se faz necessário explorar esse fenômeno e suas características. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de violência praticados contra a população infantil e juvenil do Estado de Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 2007 e 2017. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo descritivo, a partir de dados secundários obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). A partir da análise de dados, foram registradas 693.495 notificações de casos de violência contra crianças e adolescentes no período relatado, sendo que 3.600 (0,51%) desses evoluíram para óbito. As vítimas foram, predominantemente, do sexo feminino com 421.715 (60,81%), negras 304.296 (43,87%), na faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos com 256.612 (37,0%), com baixa escolaridade 196.914 (28,4%). Foi observado o predomínio da violência física em 332.369 (47,93%), praticada por familiar em 268.857 (38,76%), com relato de uso de álcool em 98.563 (14,21%). Assim, este estudo realça a necessidade de maior atenção a essa população vulnerável e de estabelecimento de ações efetivas no combate a esse tipo de violência.   Palavras-chave: Brasil.

The present study aims to analyze the violence epidemiological profile against the child and youth occurrences in MG, between the years 2007 and 2017. The methodology used was a descriptive study, based on secondary data obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). Taking the data analysis into account, 693,495 notifications of violence against children and adolescents occurrences were recorded in the reported period, of which 3,600 (0.51%) led to death. The victims were predominantly female, representing 421,715 (60.81%) of them, 304,296 (43.87%) were black, 256,612 (37.0%) were aged between 15 and 19 years old and 196,914 (28.4 %) had low education. There was a predominance of physical violence in 332,369 (47.93%) of the cases, 268,857 (38.76%) were practiced by a relative, with reports of alcohol use in 98,563 (14.21%) occurrences. Thus, this study highlights the urge for greater attention to this vulnerable population and for the establishment of effective actions to combat this sort of violence.   Keywords: Brazil.

Abstract This study examines the association of unemployment variation with intimate partner violence using representative data from thirty-one developing countries, from 2005 to 2016. It finds that a 1 percent increase in the male unemployment rate is associated with an increase in the incidence of physical violence against women by 0.50 percentage points, or 2.75 percent. This is consistent with financial and psychological stress generated by unemployment. Female unemployment rates have the opposite effect, a 1 percent decrease being associated with an increase in the probability of victimization of 0.52 percentage points, or 2.87 percent. That an improvement in women's employment opportunities is associated with increased violence is consistent with male backlash. The study finds that this pattern of behaviors emerges entirely from countries in which women have more limited access to divorce than men.

Partner Violence Against Women

Abstract This article will focus on the significant differences shown by the data found by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) survey of women who may or may not have suffered physical Intimate Partner Violence against Women (IPVAW). The authors present the model and result of the discriminant function analysis that they carried out separately for the countries from southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, and Malta) and Scandinavia (Denmark, Finland, and Sweden). Their hypotheses were that women with less income, lower educational level, who are divorced, who have children, are from rural areas, who are housewives, with bad health, older aged, immigrants, and those who had suffered some physical violence from other people – apart from the partner or ex-partner –, will suffer more violence than the rest of women. One of the most relevant conclusions from their analysis was this: the more often a woman experienced physical violence from someone other than a partner/ex-partner beginning at the age of 15 years old, the more probable it will be that she will suffer IPVAW. The authors discuss this and other significant findings here.

Abstract. Attitudes toward intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are increasingly recognized as central to understanding of this major social and public health problem, and guide the development of more effective prevention efforts. However, to date this area of research is underdeveloped in western societies, and in particular in the EU. The present study aims to provide a systematic review of quantitative studies addressing attitudes toward IPVAW conducted in the EU. The review was conducted through Web of Science, PsychINFO, Medline, EMBASE, PUBMED, and the Cochrane Library, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. This review aimed to identify empirical studies conducted in the EU, published in English in peer-reviewed journals from 2000 to 2018, and analyzing attitudes toward IPVAW. A total of 62 of 176 eligible articles were selected according to inclusion criteria. Four sets of attitudes toward IPVAW were identified as the main focus of the studies: legitimation, acceptability, attitudes toward intervention, and perceived severity. Four main research themes regarding attitudes toward IPVAW emerged: correlates of attitudes, attitudes as predictors, validation of scales, and attitude change interventions. Although interest in this research area has been growing in recent years, the systematic review revealed important gaps in current knowledge on attitudes toward IPVAW in the EU that limits its potential to inform public policy. The review outlines directions for future study and suggests that to better inform policy making, these future research efforts would benefit from an EU-level perspective.
