亲密伴侣对妇女的暴力行为是一个严重的公共卫生和人权问题。为DV辩护的态度强烈地预测了它的实施和受害。本文介绍了跨地理区域的49个中低收入国家(LMIC)对DV的社会接受程度的性别生态学分析。我们利用了2005至2017年间进行的49项人口和健康调查、联合国统计数据和专题元数据库的数据。DV接受度的衡量标准是至少在五种情况中的一种情况下“殴打妻子”的正当性，并通过终结性量表进行衡量。逐步多元线性回归研究了国家层面的社会、经济和政治赋权对女性和男性对DV的社会接受度的预测因素，以及总体性别差异。在撒哈拉以南非洲和南亚(东亚)，妇女比男子更有可能证明DV是合理的，与拉丁美洲、加勒比、中亚/西亚和欧洲相比，这些地区对DV的社会接受程度更高。政治冲突和妇女有限的经济权利与妇女和男子接受DV的程度较高有关。在更民主的国家，男性不太可能为DV辩护。在女性中，较高的全国女性识字率预示着较低的理由水平。在国家议会中妇女人数较多的国家，妇女接受DV的程度较高，总体性别差异较大。DV的正当性在低收入国家和地区的女性和男性中很普遍，接受率因国家和地区而异。背景因素对DV接受的影响中的性别差异支持对国家一级干预的性别方法。我们的发现突显了针对受冲突影响的社会接受DV的量身定做干预措施的必要性。国际(国家)政策对广泛使用的性别平等指数的“赋权”领域的重视，需要与处理歧视性性别规范的战略相结合。
Violence against women by an intimate partner (DV) is a serious public health and human rights issue. Attitudes justifying DV strongly predict its perpetration and victimisation. This paper presents gendered ecological analyses of the societal acceptance of DV in 49 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across geographical regions. We utilised data from 49 Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2005 and 2017, United Nations Statistics and topic-specific meta-databases. DV acceptance was measured as the justification of ‘wife-beating’ in at least one of five circumstances, and by the summative scale. Stepwise multiple linear regression examined country-level social, economic and political empowerment predictors of societal acceptance of DV amongst women, men, and the aggregate gender difference. Women were more likely than men to justify DV in Sub-Saharan Africa and South (east) Asia with societal acceptance of DV being more widespread in these regions compared with Latin America, the Caribbean, Central/West Asia and Europe. Political conflict and limited economic rights for women were associated with higher levels of DV acceptance amongst women and men. Men in more democratic countries were less likely to justify DV. Amongst women, higher national female literacy rates predicted lower levels of justification. There were higher levels of DV acceptance amongst women and a wider aggregate gender difference in countries with a larger representation of women in national parliament. Justification of DV is widespread amongst women and men in LMICs with acceptance rates varying across countries and regions. Gender differences in the impact of contextual factors on DV acceptance supports a gendered approach to national-level interventions. Our findings highlight the need for tailored interventions targeting DV acceptance in conflict-impacted societies. The emphasis of inter(national) policies on the ‘empowerment’ domains of widely-used gender (in)equality indices need to be coupled with strategies tackling discriminatory gender norms.
