Supplementary notes

Domestic violence is a gender-based violence defined as the abuse by one person against another in a relationship that is considered intimate such as marriage, dating, and cohabitation, or in a family relationship.

The source indicates that this assessment is based on "the attitudes of women and men age 15-49 years towards wife/partner beating by asking the respondents whether they think that husbands/partners are justified to hit or beat their wives/ partners in a variety of situations." It adds that "the purpose of these questions is to capture the social justification of violence (in contexts where women have a lower status in society) as a disciplinary action when a woman does not comply with certain expected gender roles".

* The total number of women and men respondents were 14,374 and 5,323 respectively
