Abstract

Pandemic uncertainty has exacerbated violence against women, as lockdowns and economic stresses increase tensions in households and limit access to support services. Its heightened vulnerability underscores the immediate requirement for focused interventions and resources to protect and support affected women. This investigation explores the asymmetric association between pandemic-induced uncertainty and violence against women in ten selected nations (USA, India, South Africa, Brazil, Italy, Australia, Japan, Mexico, Turkey, and Egypt). While earlier studies utilized panel data approaches, this work uses a quantile-on-quantile approach, which supports an extensive exploration of the variables' correlations tailored to individual country settings. This approach enriches the precision of our findings while delivering a thorough global standpoint, exhibiting foresight relevant to the distinct properties of numerous countries. The results point out a positive linkage between pandemic uncertainty and violence against women across several quantiles in most of our chosen nations. These findings spotlight the necessity for policymakers to carry out meticulous estimations and originate robust tactics for monitoring changes in pandemic uncertainty and the prevalence of violence against women.
双重危险:大流行病的不确定性与暴力侵害妇女行为的交集
大流行的不确定性加剧了针对妇女的暴力行为,因为封锁和经济压力加剧了家庭紧张局势,限制了获得支持服务的机会。其脆弱性的加剧突出表明,迫切需要有重点的干预措施和资源来保护和支持受影响妇女。本调查探讨了十个选定国家(美国、印度、南非、巴西、意大利、澳大利亚、日本、墨西哥、土耳其和埃及)中流行病引起的不确定性与针对妇女的暴力行为之间的不对称关系。虽然早期的研究使用了面板数据方法,但这项工作使用了分位数对分位数的方法,该方法支持广泛探索针对个别国家环境的变量相关性。这种方法丰富了我们研究结果的准确性,同时提供了一个全面的全球观点,展示了与许多国家的独特属性相关的远见。研究结果指出,在我们选择的大多数国家中,流行病的不确定性与对妇女的暴力行为之间存在着几个分位数的积极联系。这些调查结果突出表明,决策者必须进行细致的估计,并制定强有力的策略,以监测大流行病不确定性的变化和对妇女的暴力行为的普遍程度。
