If we are to effectively address the problem of interpersonal violence (IPV), we need to take a more sensitive approach to assessing women’s attitudes toward the experience of violence, and we need to work to change those attitudes.
We need to understand that there are a number of different factors that contribute to IPV, and that these are influenced by various factors such as the women’s urban residence, her education, and the size of her community.
Community size
Aside from a good education, women’s attitudes towards gender equality are also influenced by their community size. This effect is important for several reasons, including the aforementioned economic benefits of residing in a large town. For instance, in some cases, younger women tend to gain egalitarian attitudes more quickly than their elder counterparts, which may amplify the attitudinal gap as the community size goes from small to large. In addition, larger communities are better positioned to promote economic growth.
To investigate the effects of community size on women’s attitudes, researchers performed a multivariate survey. The results suggest that a larger town is indeed the best place to raise a family. Furthermore, in addition to promoting social and economic growth, communities with higher numbers of female residents are more likely to support gender equality. Women with egalitarian attitudes are also more likely to allocate resources towards wellbeing.
Education
A study of 294 young women reveals liberal shifts in sex-role attitudes. Compared to their parents and siblings, women now appear to be more interested in learning. They are more likely to be employed and have a good job. And they have real will to succeed.
The study was conducted in Asmara, Eritrea, a city with a population of 416,367. It is the capital of the country. It is also the largest settlement in Eritrea.
The researchers used a semi-experimental design. Data was collected using a pre-designed questionnaire and a random sampling technique. Attitudes were scored on a Likert scale. The scores ranged from one to five.
After intervention, attitude scores significantly changed. This change was related to later educational attainment, employment, income, and mothers’ early work status.
Urban residence
The latest fad is to leave the family home and start a new life on your own terms. Although there are a number of perks to living on your own, there are also a number of pitfalls. As such, it is important to have a plan in place for the worst case scenario. If you want to make sure that you don’t sabotage your own happiness, you’ll want to be prepared with some basic knowledge about the state of your health. For example, do you know how to take care of your blood pressure? This is an issue that affects everyone, not just the self-proclaimed yuppies. There are a number of factors to consider when deciding to move to an urban centre, but you’ll be in the best of hands if you take the time to educate yourself.
Justification of IPV as a risk factor for women’s experience of violence
One third of all women globally experience intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV is defined as physical and sexual violence between two people in an intimate relationship. It is considered to be an increasing global public health problem. IPV survivors may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic health problems.
IPV is not only a health risk for the victims, but also for their children. Pregnant women who are subjected to IPV are more likely to have premature births and low birth weight. Women who are subjected to IPV are also at greater risk of experiencing psychological trauma. Among other effects, IPV can cause severe injuries, including pelvic fracture, anemia, and infection. In addition, IPV is associated with mental health problems, such as depression, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety disorders.
