GLOBAL HEALTH REPORT 3
Intimate Partner Violence in Nangahar, Afghanistan
Section 1: Problem Description and Overview
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is defined as “any behavior within a romantic relationship that leads to physical, sexual, or psychological harm to the members of the relationship” (Kalra, Di Tanna, & Garcia-Moreno, 2017, P.34). Although both males and females may become victims of IPV, globally it is the most prevalent form of violence against women with the current or ex-intimate male partner (s) as the main perpetrator(s).
IPV has been linked to increased rates of depression, PTSD, HIV, abortions, physical disability, suicides, and child abuse. Clearly, the consequences of IPV are of concern for public health officials and health care providers globally and regionally. This report will focus on prevalence and factors contributing to IPV among women in Nangahar, Afghanistan.
Section 2: Prevalence of Problem Globally and Regionally
Global Prevalence
From 2007-2017, violence against women increased worldwide, with IPV ranked 19th in the leading causes of DALYs globally in 2017 alone (Global, 2018). According to Markel (2018), worldwide an estimated 61% of women admit to experiencing physical violence, 59% reported experiencing sexual violence, and up to 75% report experiencing psychological violence by a partner in their lifetime (Markel, 2019). Between 2013 – 2018, more than one third of all homicides involving women involved a current or ex-intimate partner (Fargo, 2018). Whole
GLOBAL HEALTH REPORT 4
population studies on IPV found that most female victims shared common characteristics –
younger age, in the process of being divorced/separated or single, had children in the household,
self-rated poor physical health and emotional health (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018).
Regional Prevalence: Nangahar, Afghanistan
Afghanistan is ranked as the “worst places in the world to be a woman” with an estimated 88% of Afghani women reporting some form of IPV in their lifetime (Bohn, 2018, p.167). The most prevalent form of IPV in Afghanistan is battery and laceration, followed by murder (Injustice, 2018). In a 2018 study of IPV among Afghani women, Gibbs et al found 73.9% of women reported psychological and emotional suffering as a result of IPV, 51% report being slapped, pushed, shaken, punched, kicked, dragged, choked, burned, having their arm twisted or hair pulled, or attacked with a weapon and 26% of these women sustained multiple physical injuries requiring extended hospitalization (Gibbs et al., 2018). Afghanistan suicide rates are higher for women than men, 80% of all suicides in Afghanistan are committed by women with “an endless cycle of abuse” noted as a leading cause of suicide among women (Merkel, 2018, p. 118). All statistics related to IPV prevalence and IPV related suicide are likely under-reported (Gibbs et al., 2018).
Section 3: Who is Affected and Who is at Risk
Afghani victims of IPV share similar characteristics with their female counterparts globally, including; poverty, low education/ lack of awareness of women’s rights, marriage at a younger age and disempowerment of women relative to social norms (Injustice, 2016, WHO, 2017). According to Taft et al, an estimated 65% of Afghan women are forced into marriage at a young age with 37% younger than 15 years (Taft et al, 2018). An estimated 42% of women
GLOBAL HEALTH REPORT 5
experiencing physical violence in Afghanistan were living in polygamous marriages (Littler, 2010). Certain provinces such as Nangarhar reported some of the highest rates of IPV in Afghanistan with 82.2% of women experiencing physical violence and emotional abuse in that region (Jewkes, Corboz, & Gibbs, 2019). Megrini, 2018 found that Afghani women living in conflict and war zones, experiencing a humanitarian crisis, such as refugees, and women with disabilities were found to experience IPV seven times higher (Megrini, 2018).
Section 4: Causes and Key Factors Contributing to the Problem
Several key factors contribute to an elevated prevalence and risk of IPV in Afghanistan including social determinants, forced marriage, particularly polygamous marriage, married under age 15 years, living in rural areas, a culture of gender inequitable attitudes, poverty and a lack education. A detailed list of factors contributing to IPV can be found in Table 1- (see Appendix A). This report will outline the leading four key leading factors contributing to IPV in Afghanistan.
Culture and Social Norms: Afghanistan has a “deeply patriarchal gender regime based on conservative cultural practices and conservative Islamic interpretations of men’s and women’s roles” (Gibbs et al., 2018, p.198). Widespread cultural and social norms disempower many women such as; honor killings, child marriage, bride prices, girls as payment to settle conflicts or debts, and trading females for property (Gibbs et al., 2018). Violence against women is not only highly prevalent, it is widely accepted, and normalized with 80% of women and 72% of justifying a married man may be his wife for disobedience, even minor such as leaving the house without permission.
GLOBAL HEALTH REPORT 6
Underreporting: Fewer than 70% of Afghani females report IPV and fewer than 10% seek help from any source, with less than 1% seeking help from local police (Victor, 2017). Underreporting demonstrates widespread acceptance and normalization of violence against women in Afghanistan.
Legal System: Mediation is utilized to resolve petty crimes and civil disputes without the penalty of imprisonment (Injustice, 2018). Mediation is often exploited and extended illegally as a tool to evade the criminal justice system in cases of violence against women. IPV is often treated as a petty crime even in IPV involving severe violence such as acid attack and forced suicides, 2018). Police frequently refuse to intervene and perform lawfully required investigations and victim’s families are often socially pressured to remain silent and defer to corrupt community mediation practices as opposed to pressing criminal charges (Injustice, 2018). The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) passed legislation of their criminal justice system in 2018, but the chapter on prosecution for violence against women was removed from the code (Bohn, 2018). Other issues involve abusive police investigations that utilize “virginity testing” and divorced women retain child custody the child reaches age 7 years then it is legally the father’s custody, preventing many women from divorce and escaping IPV (Bohn, 2018).
National Conflict. Four decades of war and conflict in Afghanistan has contributed significantly to endemic IPV. Bhuska et al (2016) reported IPV in the home is more prevalent than violence outside the home even during times of national conflict, yet attempts to reduce IPV in highest areas of conflict has not been prioritized on any national agenda.
Section 5: Importance to Global Health and Health Professionals Role
GLOBAL HEALTH REPORT 7
The WHO Global Strategy for ending Violence Against Women (2016 – 2030) is grounded in human rights (WHO, 2016). Global efforts focus on eliminating significant inequities that lead to disparities and quality of life within and between countries. Health outcomes for female victims of IPV must be addressed as a global public health issue and advocacy for reducing IPV added to an international agenda is crucial to protect girls and women from IPV through gender equality and empowerment so they may live healthy, productive lives.
Preventing violence against women and girls, in particular intimate partner violence (IPV), is a key aim of the Sustainable Development Goals (WHO, 2016). To work effectively to prevent injury and death from IPV, healthcare professionals must first understand the drivers of IPV in any given context. In Afghanistan there is very little research on the prevalence of IPV and the factors driving it (Treacy, Bolkan, & Sagbakken, 2017). However, many factors that place women at risk of IPV may be preventable. Healthcare professionals can play a key role in developing and implementing interprofessional interventions to reduce IPV and therefore, prevent human rights violations among vulnerable girls and women.
Conclusion
IPV remains a prevailing global, public health problem with an estimated one in three women experiencing physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime (WHO, 2017). In Afghanistan, recent demographic data reported the prevalence of IPV against girls and women ages 15 to 49 years to be as high as 92% across different provinces with Nangahar reporting 56% of all cases. Forced marriage, low literacy, cultural and social norms, lack of legal protection, prevailing armed conflict and underreporting have all contributed to the problem (Bengral, 2016,
GLOBAL HEALTH REPORT 8
Gibbs, 2018, Wilson et al, 2020). With several global strategies in place to reduce violence
against women, Global Health Report 2 will examine interventions and efforts to reduce IPV and
offer practical, sustainable and cost-effective recommendation to reduce IPV against women in
Nangahar, Afghanistan.
