Domestic Violence Against Women: Its Determinants and Implications for Gender Resource Allocation
Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: November, 27 , 2007Using data from a survey of Bangladeshi households, this paper explores the determinants of
domestic violence against women as well as its implications for the resources allocated to
women. The findings reveal that higher education of women and that of their husbands, and
better socioeconomic status of households are crucial in reducing the risk of violence, while,
contrary to general perceptions, women’s involvement in income generating activities and
participation in NGO programmes do not have any similar effects. [Research Paper No. 2007/80]
