Summary: This study aimed to measure the prevalence of intimate partner violence during pregnancy (IPVDP) and identify its associated factors. Among the 263 married women interviewed, 30% experienced IPVDP during pregnancy, with controlling behavior being the most common type (20.2%), followed by emotional (18.6%), sexual (10.6%), economic (6.1%), and physical violence (5.3%). The study found that alcohol and tobacco consumption by husbands, lack of family support, and undefined marriage timing were associated with higher likelihood of experiencing IPVDP.

Summary: Using data from NFHS-5, this study examines the association between husbands' characteristics and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) against married women in India. Logistic regression models were developed to analyze the relationship, considering demographic, social, and economic factors. The study finds significant associations between IPV and husbands' age, educational level, religion, caste, region, number of daughters, wife's autonomy, IPV justifying attitude, alcoholism and substance abuse, type of work, and wealth. The findings highlight the importance of addressing men's education, substance abuse, alcoholism, and employment opportunities in tackling violence against women.

Summary: The study found that sexual violence against women in Ghana led to physical and emotional abuse, resulting in physical injuries, psychological problems, sexual and reproductive health issues, and suicidal ideations. These health difficulties significantly undermined the women's economic activities and income. It is clear that sexual violence impacts women's empowerment and campaigns against gender-based violence should prioritize addressing sexual violence in Ghana and elsewhere.

Summary: Violence against women is a serious human rights abuse that has significant consequences for both women and societies. A study in rural Guatemala found that access to microfinance services was associated with a reduction in economic and emotional violence, but not coercive control. This suggests that increasing women's economic independence through microfinance can help reduce violence against women.

Summary: Overworking is a risk factor for the work-related burden of disease among migrant women in China, with nearly a quarter of them being overworked. This study finds that giving birth to a boy may exacerbate their overtime work, and having more boys in the family increases the probability of women's overwork. Son preferences and economic burdens associated with purchasing a wedding house contribute to women's overwork. The influence of son preference on women's overtime work exists throughout their labor life cycle.

Summary: The first European Union Survey on Violence against Women (EU-VAW) released in 2014 revealed the unexpected result that countries with high gender equality have relatively high rates of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women (IPVAW), known as the Nordic Paradox. This paper aims to revisit hypotheses proposed in the last four decades and propose a new one to understand the paradox. The study found that higher country-level status of men and women is associated with less IPVAW, with women's status in economic domains having a larger impact. The findings support the Marxist feminist hypothesis and the male privilege protection hypothesis.
