亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）已被认为是我们这个时代的一个决定性的人权、发展和公共卫生问题。经济赋权是撒哈拉以南非洲减少 IPV 最有希望的干预措施之一，但有关确保减少 IPV 关键的经济因素的证据仍然混杂。此外，对于哪种经济赋权对哪些人群有效尚不明确。本文通过调查一般女性群体、城市与农村和青年、中年女性与老年女性之间的经济赋权指标与身体和/或性 IPV 之间的关联是否相似，寻求更细致的理解。我们利用来自 15 个国家的 25 项 DHS 调查的夫妇数据（调查时 70,993 名年龄在 15 岁及以上的女性和男性），分析了家庭财富、男性和女性的教育和就业状况、女性收入决策、女性及其伴侣的教育和就业差异以及女性现金收入与身体和/或性 IPV 的关系。我们还针对城市和农村地区以及 15 至 24 岁、25 至 34 岁和 35 至 49 岁的女性进行了细分分析。在所有调查中，20% 的女性在过去 12 个月内报告了身体和/或性 IPV。一方面，我们的研究结果强化了女性经济赋权与 IPV 之间的某些既定模式，女性和男性受教育程度较高、家庭财富增加与 IPV 减少相关，而女性就业（特别是在女性工作的情况下）以及女性收入高于伴侣的情况与 IPV 增加相关。大多数模式在城乡环境和年龄组之间没有差异，但在家庭财富、过去 12 个月的女性和男性就业以及相对就业和教育方面出现了显着差异。与妇女经济赋权相关的因素对于理解和解决 IPV 至关重要。然而我们的分析表明，未来的干预措施需要考虑城乡地区的不同需求，并针对不同的年龄组。在线版本包含可在 10.1186/s12905-021-01363-9 获取的补充材料。
Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been recognized as a defining human rights, development and public health issue of our time. Economic empowerment is one of the most promising interventions to reduce IPV in sub-Saharan Africa, yet the evidence around economic factors that are key to ensure a reduction in IPV are still mixed. Furthermore, there is a lack of clarity on what kinds of economic empowerment works for which population group. This paper seeks a more nuanced understanding, by investigating whether the associations between indicators of economic empowerment and physical and/or sexual IPV are similar between the general population of women and among urban versus rural and young, or middle aged women versus older women. Using couples data from 25 DHS surveys across 15 countries (n = 70,993 women and men aged 15 and above at time of survey), we analyse how household wealth, men’s and women’s education and employment status, decision making on women’s income, differences in education and employment of women and their partners and women’s cash income are associated with physical and/or sexual IPV. We also provide sub-analyses for both urban and rural areas and for women aged, 15 to 24 25 to 34 and 35 to 49. Across all surveys, 20% of women reported physical and/or sexual IPV in the last 12 months. On the one hand, our findings reinforced certain well-established patterns between women’s economic empowerment and IPV, with women’s and men’s higher levels of education and increased household wealth associated with a decrease in IPV, and women’s employment, especially if only the woman worked, and women earning more than her partner associated with an increase in IPV. Most patterns did not differ across urban and rural settings and age groups, but notable differences emerged regarding household wealth, women’s and men’s employment in the last 12 months and relative employment and education. Factors relating to women’s economic empowerment are vital in understanding and addressing IPV. Our analysis indicate however that future interventions need to consider the differing needs of urban and rural areas as well as be targeted to different age groups.
