Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the contributing elements to emotional abuse against women. The data was analyzed using binary logistic regression and descriptive statistics, with women's emotional violence serving as the response variable. In order to achieve the goal, 4720 women between the ages of 15 and 49 who were acquired from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey were included. The Hosmer and Lemeshow test indicates that the model matches the data quite well. Descriptive statistics show that, out of the 4720 women respondents who participated in the survey, 3667 (77.69%) were not subjected to emotional violence, while 1053 (22.31%) were. Based on the outcome of the binary logistic regression study indicates that the variable level of education, marital status, smoking cigarette, drink alcohol, chat chewing and religion are statistically significant factors on emotional violence. The variable level of education is one of significance variable on emotional violence. Therefore, the concerned body should include topics elimination of violence against women in the education system.
