摘要

许多妇女经常在公共场所遭受身体或性暴力。我们通过分析印度的洒红节（Holi）来研究性别规范在延续这种暴力中的作用。在印度，“别觉得被冒犯了，这是洒红节”（Bura na mano Holi Hai）这句话被误用为不恰当的行为辩护。我们记录了洒红节期间对妇女的袭击增加了170%。分析显示：(1)在男性为暴力辩护的地区，暴力行为更高；(2)在女性反对暴力的地区，男性会产生反弹效应。胡里节期间少报和行动不便似乎不是主要原因。到目前为止，还没有人被定罪。

Holi crimes: The impact of a public festivity on violence against women

Many women experience physical or sexual violence, often in public spaces. We study the role of gender norms in perpetuating this violence by analyzing Holi, a festivity in India, where the phrase “Bura na mano Holi Hai” (Don’t feel offended, it’s Holi) is misused to justify inappropriate behavior. We document a 170% increase in assaults against women during Holi. Analysis reveals (1) higher violence in districts where men justify violence, and (2) a male backlash effect where women oppose it. Underreporting and reduced mobility during Holi do not appear to be the main drivers. To date, nobody has been convicted.
