 In Bangladesh, Women's Risk of Domestic Violence Is Linked to Their Status
Compared with women in Sirajgonj, where purdah is strictly followed, women in Jessore more commonly said they had been to a market in the past six months (33% vs. 20%), were not Muslim (19% vs. 3%), had received schooling (42% vs. 29%) and were married to men who had received schooling (58% vs. 38%).
In contrast, community-level factors were significant only in Jessore, where an increase in the prevalence of credit group membership and an increase in average level of female autonomy reduced the risk of domestic violence.
The investigators suggest that in the conservative setting of Sirajgonj, an increase in female autonomy has a "destabilizing effect" on the relationship between a woman and her husband or his family, thereby increasing the risk of domestic violence.
