“…Strong social connectedness is also found to be relevant for emotional IPV. Although our results differ slightly from those of Mavisakalyan and Rammohan (2021) and Yilmaz (2018) , we could nevertheless argue that for a woman at a certain level of IPV risk, as she increases her social interactions, the tensions, conflicts, and disputes with her partner initially rise, leading to a greater likelihood of victimization. After a certain level of social support networks is surpassed, the IPV risk decreases to its initial level.…”

“…This result partially agrees with existing studies regarding the significant effect of women’s decision-making autonomy ( Mavisakalyan & Rammohan, 2021 ). It could indicate that when a woman has a low level of autonomy regarding her professional life and use of resources, her partner exercises dominance and control over her through emotional violence.…”

The purpose of this paper is to identify the risk factors for emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and girls with children in Mexico from an ecological perspective. To that end, we generate a dataset with 35,004 observations and 42 covariates, to which we apply an additive probit model estimated with a boosting algorithm to overcome high-dimensionality and simultaneously perform variable selection and model choice. The dataset integrates 10 information sources, allowing us to properly characterize the four levels of the ecological approach, which is the first contribution of this paper. In addition, there are three key contributions. First, we identify a number of factors significantly linked to emotional IPV against women with children: age, age at sexual initiation, age at marriage (or cohabitation), autonomy regarding professional issues, social support networks, division of housework, the community’s Gini index, women’s economic participation in the municipality, and the prevalence of crime against males in the region. Second, we discuss some risk factors whose effects have not been examined or have been underexplored for Mexico; these include women’s decision-making autonomy, social support networks, distribution of housework, the community’s economic inequality, and criminality. Third, we identify specific risk subgroups that are generally overlooked: women who had their first sexual intercourse during childhood and women who got married (or moved in together with a partner) late in life. The main results suggest that strategies aiming to promote women’s social and economic empowerment and reduce criminality should also incorporate a gender component regarding emotional violence against women with children in the context of intimate relationships.

“…This is similar to the study of Mavisakalyan and Rammohan (2020), who found that an increase in female autonomy in decision-making autonomy significantly influences intimate partner violence. Zegenhagen, Ranganathan, and Buller (2019) argued that decision making autonomy determines intimate partner violence.…”

The study is an analysis of the relationship between household decision-making autonomy, family income status and intimate partner violence in Calabar South, Cross River State, Nigeria. Adopting the exchange/social control theory, the study applied the survey research design in gathering data from 383 respondents from Calabar South, using a structured interview questionnaire. Elicited data was analyzed using simple lineal regression at 0.05 alpha Level. Result revealed that household decision making autonomy and family income status has significant influence on intimate partner violence in Calabar South Local Government Area The study thereby calls for the development of evidence-based culturally appropriate interventions that address the issue of unequal power relations between men and women

“…In the study of the relationship between the level of autonomy of women and IPV, it was found that a woman with a low level of autonomy had a higher probability of having suffered IPV. Studies in countries such as Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Pakistan have reported a similar association [ 13 , 14 , 36 ]. However, this association was not found in other countries such as Malawi, which described no relationship between IPV and women’s autonomy [ 37 ].…”

To assess the association between women’s autonomy and intimate partner violence (IPV) against women of childbearing age. Secondary analysis of the 2019 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES / acronym in Spanish) was carried out. The study population was women aged 15–49 years who are currently married or living with a partner. A Poisson family generalized linear regression model was estimated to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) for the association between women’s autonomy and IPV with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI). Data from 18,621 women were analyzed. The highest proportion of women had low autonomy (low: 42%; moderate: 39.2%; high: 18.8%). A prevalence of IPV of 40.1% was found (psychological/verbal: 38.8%; physical: 8.8%; sexual: 2.3%). The adjusted model found that women with a low level of autonomy (aPR: 1.15, 95%CI: 1.01–1.31) had a higher prevalence of IPV compared to women with high autonomy. This association was also found for the specific case of psychological/verbal violence (aPR: 1.15, 95%CI: 1.01–1.31). No association was found between women’s level of autonomy and physical or sexual violence by a partner. Four out of 10 women of childbearing age have experienced IPV in the last 12 months. In general, women with lower levels of autonomy are more likely to present IPV compared to women with high autonomy.
