“…A possible explanation of why these international businesswomen, who have a higher educational level, experience IPVAW, is because empowerment is not immediate protection against violence, as the male backlash theory predicts. As has been reported by various studies, female empowerment in terms of employment opportunities and higher educational achievement tend to increase domestic violence and abuse ( Heath, 2014 ; Erten and Keskin, 2018 , 2021 ; Bhalotra et al, 2021 ; Guarnieri and Rainer, 2021 ). Furthermore, even in a gender-equal country like Sweden, intimate partners tend to react with hostility and violence to an improved economic position of women ( Bergvall, 2022 ).…”

While previous studies have explored multiple constraints affecting women exporters, the effects of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are still unexplored in the literature. Thus, this study aims to probe first whether women owners of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in export markets experience IPVAW. Secondly, it aims to explore the effect of IPVAW on their relationship quality with business partners, mediated by the performance of export capabilities. Using a structured questionnaire applied through personal interviews, we surveyed 57 female owners of exporting MSEs in Peru. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and test the model. The preliminary findings indicate that women exporters who experience IPVAW are more likely to face problems performing export capabilities. In turn, these performance problems seem to affect the quality of their relationships with importers and suppliers. Moreover, there is a direct relationship between IPVAW and problems in performing export capabilities and between issues performing capabilities and the relationship quality. Our theoretical contribution is a conceptual model that proposes the variable “Problems Performing Capabilities” as a mediator to measure the effects of IPVAW on exporting MSEs owned by women. Our findings urge policymakers and trade organizations boosting women-owned export enterprises to include initiatives that address and prevent IPVAW in their export promotion programs.

“…Second, we examine the robustness of the results to the inclusion of unemployment rate as a control variable. While the direction of the link seem to the depend on the context, unemployment, which raised dramatically in Spain from year 2008, is a crucial determinant of IPV (see for example Anderberg et al 2016, Bhalotra et al 2021, Tur-Prats 2021or Erten and Keskin 2021.…”

“…On the other hand, Kizilgol and Ipek(2018) found that the employment status of women and men has no significant effect on any type of abuse in Turkey. Erten and Keskin(2020) investigated the effect of women's employment on violence by exploiting the Syrian refugee inflow in Turkey as an exogenous labor market shock. According to their findings, refugee inflows simultaneously reduced women's employment opportunities and reduction in IPV against women which is supporting the male backlash theory.…”

As one of the fastest developing countries in the world, Turkey has been suffering from domestic violence significantly in recent decades and it has been one of the hottest topics discussed both in public and in the national media. On the other hand, it is interesting that according to United Nations Turkey is one of the leading countries in the MENA regarding the fight against domestic violence and supporting women's legal rights in general. However, beyond the legal rights and state support to women, together with other socioeconomic factors, employment status and financial empowerment of women may be linked to sexual and physical violence against women. In this study, it is aimed to investigate this potential relationship by using the "Research on Domestic Violence Against Women in Turkey" survey data conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute in 2014. The multinomial probit model was used to modeling the effects of employment and financial empowerment on violence against women. According to estimations results, women who have a job may less likely to experience some types of domestic violence.
