我们探讨了孟加拉国两个农村地区家庭暴力的决定因素。我们发现，受教育程度的提高、社会经济地位的提高、非穆斯林的宗教信仰和大家庭的居住与暴力风险的降低有关。妇女地位对暴力行为的影响被认为与具体情况有很大关系。在文化上较为保守的地区，妇女的个人自主性较高以及在储蓄和信贷团体中的短期成员资格都与暴力风险显著增加有关，社区一级的变量与暴力无关。相比之下，在文化上不那么保守的地区，个人一级的妇女地位指标与暴力风险无关，社区一级的妇女地位衡量标准与暴力风险显著降低有关，这可能是因为加强了性别关系中新出现的规范变化。
We explore the determinants of domestic violence in two rural areas of Bangladesh. We found increased education, higher socioeconomic status, non-Muslim religion, and extended family residence to be associated with lower risks of violence. The effects of women status on violence was found to be highly context-specific. In the more culturally conservative area, higher individual-level women autonomy and short-term membership in savings and credit groups were both associated with significantly elevated risks of violence, and community-level variables were unrelated to violence. In the less culturally conservative area, in contrast, individual-level women status indicators were unrelated to the risk of violence, and community-level measures of women status were associated with significantly lower risks of violence, presumably by reinforcing nascent normative changes in gender relations.
