Article Synopsis
- Empowerment is crucial for women in India, yet patriarchal norms limit their autonomy, leading to heightened domestic violence and health issues.
- The study aims to explore how different dimensions of women's empowerment relate to their attitudes toward justifying physical violence in certain situations, suggesting that increased empowerment may reduce acceptance of such violence.
- Data was analyzed from the National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-2021), revealing low employment rates among women, high asset ownership, and significant instances of justified physical violence, indicating a complex relationship between empowerment and domestic abuse.
