“…According to the findings of the current study, violence against women is still prevalent. These results are consistent with the findings of many previous studies conducted in Turkey, which reported that the rates of violence against women varied from 30% to 70% (Aslan et al, 2019;Gencer et al, 2019;Dikmen & Gonenc, 2020). In In the current study, the total mean score on the attitude scale for violence against women was high.…”

“…In Turkey, Kul Uçtu and Karahan (2016) found a significant relationship between students' exposure to violence and their gender. In Turkey, Dikmen and Gonenc (2020) identified increased gender equality in marriage as a factor that decreased violence. Ozaki and Otis (2017) investigated the relationship between patriarchal norms, as evidenced by individual attitudes and perpetration of intimate partner violence against women among samples of male students attending universities in a select group of Asian and European countries.…”

Data analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analyses.Results: About 37.5% of the participants had been exposed to violence.

“…Women’s attitude towards intimate partner violence is often driven by deeply rooted gender norms and beliefs within patriarchal power structures that promote male dominance and condone erosion of women’s rights [ 43 ]. Studies have shown women's justification of IPV as a risk factor for women's experience of violence [ 44 ]. Several multi-sectoral and systemic approaches have been identified as possible interventions to prevent incidence of IPV in a South Asian context [ 12 , 17 ].…”

Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) adversely affects women’s reproductive health outcomes but to what extent women’s justification of IPV affects maternal health care service utilization is unexplored. Methods The secondary cross-sectional datasets from multiple indicator cluster surveys of Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal and Pakistan conducted between 2010 and 2015 were used. We used a generalized linear mixed model with random effects, at both cluster- and country-level, to determine the odds ratio of maternal health service utilization at the regional level and a multivariable logistic regression model adjusting for complex survey design at the country level. Interaction between women’s justification of IPV and residential location, and linear trend in the utilization of maternal health care services associated with increasing levels of women's justification of IPV, were examined using the Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT). Results A total of 26,029 women aged 15–49 years, living with their partners and had a pregnancy outcome 2 years prior to the survey were included. Women justifying IPV were less likely to utilize contraceptive methods (aOR) = 0.86, 95% CI 0.84, 0.88), at-least one Antenatal Care (ANC) visit (aOR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.72, 0.88), four or more ANC services (aOR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.76, 0.86), institutional delivery (aOR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.80, 0.94) and Post-natal Care (aOR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.62, 0.95) services. A decreasing linear trend was observed for four or more ANC visits (LRT P = 0.96) and institutional delivery (LRT P = 0.80) with increasing levels of IPV justification. Women justifying IPV were less likely to have at least one ANC visit in urban (aOR 0.67, 95% CI 0.60, 0.75) compared to rural areas (aOR 0.83, 95% CI 0.73, 0.94). Conclusions Women’s justification of IPV was associated with decreased odds of utilizing a wide range of maternal health care services at the regional level. Although further research that may help establish a causal link is important before formulating public health interventions, our study indicates interventions targeting women’s condoning attitude toward IPV, delivered sooner rather than later, could potentially help to improve women’s utilization of essential maternal health care services in the South Asian region that comprises Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan.

“…According to different studies conducted in Turkey, 15%-65% of women are exposed to physical violence (Alan, Yılmaz, Filiz and Arioz 2016;Kocacik and Caglayandereli, 2009;Ozyurt and Deveci, 2010;Sahin and Dundar, 2017), 52%-66% to verbal violence (Alan et al, 2016;Kocacik and Caglayandereli, 2009;Ozyurt and Deveci, 2010), and 6.3%-15% to sexual violence (Alan et al, 2016;Kocacik and Caglayandereli, 2009;Ozyurt and Deveci, 2010;Sahin and Dundar, 2017). Moreover, 24%-55% of the women reported the type of violence committed by their husbands or ex-husbands as psychological violence and 13.5%-19.3% as economic violence (Dikmen and Munevver 2020).…”

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.
