E-Poster

Violence Against Women and their Children

Female Decision Making, Autonomy, and Justification of Intimate Partner Violence in Katoma, Tanzania

Saturday, October 26, 2024
3:00 PM – 3:30 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 12B
This poster will explore how female autonomy, decision-making, and empowerment influence the acceptance of intimate partner violence in Tanzania across 5 different hamlets. A cross-sectional survey was given to 450+ households and areas from female empowerment and water, sanitation, and hygiene to emphasize the needs of low and middle-income countries.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Gain insights into the independent variables of female autonomy and decision-making dynamics within the household, specifically related to using money as the female head of household wishes and collaborative decision-making between women and their husbands.
  2. Engage in critical thinking about the implications of the research results on addressing and preventing marital violence, considering potential interventions and policy implications in low- and middle- income countries
  3. Recognize the need for further research to deepen the understanding of the dynamics between decision making, autonomy, and acceptance of marital violence in low and middle-income countries globally, emphasizing the importance of expanding the research scope beyond Tanzania.
