Effect of Proximate Education and Role of Alcohol Consumption on Spousal Violence with Context to India

Abstract

Violence against women, particularly Spousal violence and sexual violence, is a major public health issue and a violation of women's human rights. 7 out of 10 women have experienced physical or verbal abuse by a partner. 6 out of 10 people said there was more sexual harassment in public places(UN Women 2021). While gender-based violence can affect anyone, anywhere, some women and girls are more susceptible than others. The research focuses on studying the relationship between the Literacy of men and Spousal violence, reviewing the impact of consumption of alcohol in men on Spousal violence, assessing the relevance of women’s household decision-making on intimate partner violence, suggesting probable measures to solve the problem of Spousal violence. The study focuses on secondary quantitative data populated from India for the period 2019-21. The reports by the National Family Health Survey(NFHS) are being used to extract data. The model of multiple linear regression is used for the year to study and assess the relationship between independent and dependent variables. It helps to determine the impact of different independent variables on dependent variables. The data on Spousal violence is analyzed as a dependent variable. The Literacy of men, Alcohol consumption of men, and Women's Household decision-making are the independent variables.
