The impact of women's unemployment and income disparities on intimate partner violence

The study critically investigated the connection between Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and women’s economic status. The study was qualitative and used semi-structured interviews to collect data. The feminist economic theory guided the researcher throughout the study. The study revealed that reducing wage disparities and enhancing women's access to steady work are essential to reducing intimate partner violence. The study recommends prioritization of the economic opportunities for the victims, policy interventions that support financial literacy, job opportunities, and economic empowerment initiatives that may potentially lower intimate partner violence rates. This paper promotes a multifaceted strategy to combat gender-based violence by addressing the structural economic disparities that underlie intimate partner violence and incorporating economic reforms into more comprehensive intimate partner violence prevention tactics.
