INTRODUCTION
Intimate partner violence against women is more prevalent in Ethiopia and among the highest in the world. This study was aimed to explore the attitudes of the community on intimate partner violence against women, the strategies women are using after the violence act, and suggested measures to stop or reduce the act in East Wollega Zone.
METHODS
A total of 12 focus group discussions involving 55 men and 60 women were conducted from December, 2011 to January, 2012. Discussants were purposefully selected from urban and rural settings of the study area. The analyses followed the procedure for qualitative thematic analysis.
RESULTS
Three themes (attitudes, coping strategies, and suggested measures) were emerged. Most discussants perceived, intimate partner violence is accepted in the community in circumstances of practicing extra marital sex and suspected infidelity. The majority of women are keeping silent and very few defend themselves from the violent husbands/partners. The suggested measures by the community to stop or reduce women's violence were targeting actions at the level of individual, family, community, and society.
CONCLUSION
In the study community, the attitude of people and traditional norms influence the acceptability for the act of intimate partner violence against women. Most victims are tolerating the incident while very few are defending themselves from the violent partners. The suggested measures for stopping or reducing women's violence focused on provision of education for raising awareness at all levels using a variety of approaches targeting different stakeholders. It is recommended that more efforts are needed to dispel myths, misconceptions and traditional norms and beliefs of the community. There is a need for amending and enforcing the existing laws as well as formulating the new laws concerning women violence including rape. Moreover, providing professional help at all levels is essential.
简介
在埃塞俄比亚，针对妇女的亲密伴侣暴力行为更为普遍，其发生率在全球处于较高水平。本研究旨在探讨社区对亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为的态度、妇女在暴力行为发生后的应对策略，以及在东沃洛格特区制止或减少这种行为的建议措施。
方法
2011 年 12 月至 2012 年 1 月，共进行了 12 次焦点小组讨论，涉及 55 名男性和 60 名女性。讨论者是从研究地区的城乡环境中有意选择的。分析遵循定性主题分析的程序。
结果
出现了三个主题（态度、应对策略和建议措施）。大多数讨论者认为，在发生婚外性行为和涉嫌通奸的情况下，社区接受亲密伴侣暴力行为。大多数妇女保持沉默，很少有人自卫免受暴力丈夫/伴侣的侵害。社区提出的制止或减少妇女暴力的措施是针对个人、家庭、社区和社会各级的行动。
结论
在研究社区中，人们的态度和传统规范影响了对亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为的可接受性。大多数受害者容忍这一事件，而很少有人自卫免受暴力伴侣的侵害。为制止或减少妇女暴力而提出的措施侧重于在各级开展提高认识教育，采用针对不同利益攸关方的各种方法。建议需要做出更多努力，以消除社区的神话、误解和传统规范和信仰。需要修订和执行现有的关于妇女暴力包括强奸的法律，并制定新的法律。此外，在各级提供专业帮助至关重要。
