Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the demographic, social, and economic factors that affect the prevalence rates of marital violence against Palestinian women. The present study used survey data. The declaration of violence in Palestinian society was made in 2019 by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. The study sample consisted of 5,114 married women or formerly married women. In addition, the study used the descriptive approach to describe the demographic, social, and economic variables that affect the prevalence of marital violence against women (MVAW). Binary logistic regression was utilized to investigate the determinants of MVAW. The study concluded that young women are more susceptible to all forms of violence. An increase in the number of children in a family is correlated with higher rates of violence, and the women who are living in the Gaza Strip have elevated odds of experiencing MVAW if compared to women living in the West Bank. Women in low-income families are more susceptible to marital violence than women from affluent families. Currently, working women are less vulnerable to MVAW than their non-working counterparts. The study recommends further research and collaboration between government and non-government organizations to prevent the expansion of this problem.

巴勒斯坦妇女遭受婚内暴力的社会经济和人口决定因素

本研究旨在调查影响巴勒斯坦妇女婚内暴力发生率的人口、社会和经济因素。本研究使用了调查数据。巴勒斯坦中央统计局于 2019 年公布了巴勒斯坦社会的暴力行为。研究样本包括 5114 名已婚或曾婚妇女。此外，本研究采用描述性方法来描述影响婚内暴力侵害妇女行为（MVAW）发生率的人口、社会和经济变量。二元逻辑回归被用来调查婚内暴力侵害妇女行为的决定因素。研究得出结论，年轻妇女更容易受到各种形式的暴力侵害。家庭中子女人数的增加与暴力发生率的上升相关，与西岸妇女相比，生活在加沙地带的妇女遭受暴力侵害的几率更高。与富裕家庭的妇女相比，低收入家庭的妇女更容易遭受婚姻暴力。目前，职业妇女比不工作的妇女更不容易遭受暴力侵害妇女行为。研究建议进一步开展研究，并在政府和非政府组织之间开展合作，以防止这一问题的扩大。
