This article examined the prevalence of physical and sexual violence among 1,974 married women from 40 low-income communities in Chennai, India. The authors found a 99% and 75% lifetime prevalence of physical abuse and forced sex, respectively, whereas 65% of women experienced more than five episodes of physical abuse in the 3 months preceding the survey. Factors associated with violence after multivariate adjustment included elementary/middle school education and variables suggesting economic insecurity. These domestic violence rates exceed those in prior Indian reports, suggesting women in slums may be at increased risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
本文调查了印度钦奈40个低收入社区中1974名已婚妇女遭受身体暴力和性暴力的情况。作者发现，身体虐待和强迫性行为的终生患病率分别为99%和75%，而65%的女性在调查前3个月内遭受过5次以上的身体虐待。多变量调整后与暴力相关的因素包括小学/初中教育以及表明经济不安全的变量。这些家庭暴力发生率超过了印度此前报告中的数据，表明贫民窟妇女感染艾滋病毒和其他性传播感染的风险可能更高。
