亲密伴侣对妇女的暴力行为是世界上几乎所有社会中普遍存在的最普遍的侵犯人权行为之一。资源贫乏国家的妇女，特别是受最近战争影响的国家的妇女，似乎面临遭受伴侣暴力的高风险。尽管长期以来一直有一个假设，即社会层面的有组织暴力会传播到人际层面，但人们对暴露于战争和家庭暴力之间的联系知之甚少。2010年，我们对乌干达北部9个受战争严重影响的社区的二年级学生及其男女监护人进行了流行病学调查，采用结构化访谈和标准化问卷。本研究分析了来自7个农村社区的235对监护人夫妇的子样本，以确定在过去战争背景下妇女目前遭受伴侣暴力的流行程度和预测因素。研究结果显示，女性伴侣持续遭受伴侣暴力的发生率很高。在过去一年中，80%的妇女报告至少遭受一种语言/心理虐待，71%遭受至少一种身体虐待，52%遭受孤立，23%成为性暴力的受害者。线性回归分析的结果表明，妇女先前接触与战争有关的创伤事件、妇女重新经历症状和男子酗酒相关问题的程度与伴侣对妇女施暴的程度较高有关。预测变量对不同亚型的伴侣暴力表现出不同的影响。调查结果表明，伴侣对妇女的暴力是乌干达北部农村地区的一个主要问题。预防和减少伴侣对妇女的暴力行为的规划需要解决男子的高水平危险饮酒以及妇女先前的创伤问题。此外，还应考虑到伴侣暴力的不同形式。
Violence against women that is perpetrated by an intimate partner prevails as one of the most widespread human rights violations in virtually all societies of the world. Women in resource-poor countries, in particular those affected by recent war, appear to be at high risk of experiencing partner violence. Although there has been a longstanding assumption that organised violence at a societal level is transmitted to an interpersonal level, little is known about the link between exposure to war and familial violence. We conducted an epidemiological survey in 2010 with 2nd-grade students and their male and female guardians from nine heavily war-affected communities in Northern Uganda employing structured interviews and standardized questionnaires. The present study analysed a subsample of 235 guardian couples from seven rural communities in order to determine the prevalence and predictors of current partner violence experienced by women in the context of the past war. Study results revealed a high prevalence of ongoing partner violence experienced by female partners. In the past year, 80% of women reported at least one type of verbal/psychological abuse, 71% were exposed to at least one type of physical abuse, 52% suffered isolation and 23% fell victim to sexual violence. Findings from linear regression analyses showed that women's prior exposure to war-related traumatic events, women's re-experiencing symptoms and men's level of alcohol-related problems were associated with higher levels of partner violence against women. Differential effects of the predictor variables emerged with respect to different subtypes of partner violence. The findings suggest that partner violence against women constitutes a major problem in rural Northern Uganda. Programmes for the prevention and reduction of partner violence against women need to address high levels of hazardous drinking in men as well as women's prior traumatisation. In addition, different patterns of partner violence should be taken into account.
