This secondary descriptive analysis sought to understand Gender-Based Violence (GBV), with a focus on Domestic Violence (DV), among older women in Ukraine's conflict setting. Analysis was conducted on a subsample of 150 women aged 60+ from GBV-Information Management System intake data of 12,480 GBV survivors. Fisher's exact tests were used to compare differences in GBV incidents among women who experienced DV compared to other types of GBV. Using United Nations humanitarian and aging frameworks, qualitative analysis was completed following two rounds of coding. Sixty percent of women aged ≥60 experienced DV. Local women were more likely to experience DV versus displaced women (85.6% vs. 48.3%, < .001). Six core themes emerged: experiencing versus witnessing violence, intergenerational conflict, livelihoods, alcohol, humiliation, and neglect. Deeper understanding of DV among older women in humanitarian settings is needed, strengthening a call to action to prioritize protection against, and prevention of, GBV more broadly among this marginalized group.

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.
