Acceptability of violence against women (VAW) is a key dimension in addressing this social problem, given its influence on both the violent conduct of aggressors and the decisions of affected women. This study analyzes, for the first time, the magnitude of acceptability of VAW and associated factors in the Roma population in Spain. The Roma population is the largest ethnocultural minority in Europe. Data were analyzed from the Spanish National Health Survey of the Roma Population of 2014, a survey of 1,167 people identified as members of the Roma community. The results indicate that 70.9% of those surveyed completely reject VAW, with lower probability of acceptability among women than men (odds ratio [OR]: 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.51, 0.86]). There is also a decrease in probability as income increases, in people who identify themselves as evangelical (OR: 0.5; 95% CI: [0.36, 0.71]) and among those who report being acquainted with a battered woman (OR: 0.68; 95% CI: [0.48, 0.97]), similarly in women and men. It has to be highlighted that the observed associations between socioeconomic conditions and acceptability of VAW should be considered when designing strategies for raising awareness about the consequences of VAW for the Roma population.
对妇女暴力行为（VAW）的接受程度是解决这一社会问题的关键维度，因为它既影响到施暴者的暴力行为，也影响到受影响妇女的决策。本研究首次分析了西班牙罗姆人群体中 VAW 可接受性及其相关因素的程度。罗姆人是欧洲最大的少数民族。这项研究分析了 2014 年西班牙罗姆人全国健康调查的数据，该调查对 1167 名被认定为罗姆社区成员的人进行了调查。结果表明，70.9%的受访者完全反对 VAW，女性比男性更有可能接受（优势比[OR]：0.66；95%置信区间[CI]：[0.51, 0.86]）。收入增加、自认为是福音派（OR：0.5；95% CI：[0.36, 0.71]）和报告认识受虐妇女的人（OR：0.68；95% CI：[0.48, 0.97]），其接受 VAW 的可能性也会降低，这在女性和男性中都是如此。需要强调的是，在为罗姆人群体设计提高对 VAW 后果认识的策略时，应该考虑到社会经济条件与 VAW 可接受性之间的观察到的关联。
