Abstract

Intimate partner violence is one of the most common forms of violence against girls and women globally. Gender inequality may be a critical variable of focus for prevention. Using the most representative global data to date on gender inequality (i.e., the United Nations' gender inequality index) and intimate partner violence (i.e., the World Health Organization's Global Violence Against Women database), the current study aims to examine the proposed relationship between gender inequality and intimate partner violence at the macro-level. Matching data from the World Health Organization's global database and the United Nations' gender inequality index exists for 75 countries. Results demonstrate a positive global relationship between intimate partner violence and gender inequality, with countries with higher gender inequality reporting higher rates of intimate partner violence across the lifespan. Implications for the prevention of intimate partner violence globally are discussed.

性别不平等:亲密伴侣暴力的世界性关联因素
亲密伴侣间的暴力行为是全球针对女童和妇女最常见的暴力形式之一。性别不平等可能是预防的一个关键变量。本研究利用迄今为止最具代表性的全球性别不平等数据(即联合国性别不平等指数)和亲密伴侣暴力数据(即世界卫生组织全球暴力侵害妇女行为数据库),旨在从宏观层面研究性别不平等与亲密伴侣暴力之间的关系。世界卫生组织全球数据库和联合国性别不平等指数为 75 个国家提供了匹配数据。结果表明,亲密伴侣暴力与性别不平等之间存在全球性的正相关关系,性别不平等程度较高的国家在整个生命周期内的亲密伴侣暴力发生率较高。本文讨论了在全球范围内预防亲密伴侣间暴力行为的意义。
