Prevalence and factors associated with intimate partner violence among women in Tanzania: evidence from Tanzanian demographic and health survey 2022
The prevalence of IPV among women in Tanzania remains high compared to the global average of 30%. This was mostly associated with women's employment status, and women married/cohabiting with alcohol consumers. The government should implement community-based educational programs to raise awareness about IPV and dedicate more efforts like raising the tax on all alcoholic beverages to controlling alcohol consumption among men as a strategy to combat IPV in society.
