It examines the contested relationship between empowerment and intimate partner violence—at individual and community levels. It highlights the short and long-term effects of intimate partner violence on the children of victims. The book employs up-to-date quantitative methods and is based on a recently released nationally representative database. The focus is on India, a fast-growing South Asian country with poor gender indicators. It extends the understanding of intimate partner violence to developing countries lacking poor victim support bases. It also addresses SDG5, “eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.” The book is essential for anyone interested in the data-based analysis of intimate partner violence and activists and policymakers seeking to reduce such violence in India.
