Abstract

The study examines individual, partner, and community characteristics associated with the perpetration of intimate partner violence among ever married women of reproductive age. We use data from the 2010-2011 Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey. Logistic regressions are analyzed to assess women’s risks of experiencing emotional, physical, and sexual violence and multiple forms of intimate partner violence in the past 12 months.
