DETERMINANTS OF WOMEN’S TOLERANT ATTITUDES TOWARD GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN KOSOVO
Journal Title: Psychological Thought - Year 2023, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Gender-based violence against women is still one of the most worrying facts in Kosovo. This paper examines determinants of women’s tolerant attitudes toward gender-based violence against women in Kosovo. An empirical assessment of determinants of tolerance towards domestic violence was conducted by utilizing data from the Kosovo Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) carried out in 2019–2020. The survey was carried out with 5,124 households, drawn from a sample representative of the whole population of Kosovo. The national representative sampling by the MICS survey allows for generalized findings. Economic conditions, lower education level, residence, marital status, and marrying age are important predictors of a higher rate of women’s tolerant attitudes toward gender-based violence among women in Kosovo. The study’s important findings open new pathways for multi-level design studies including more variables such as social support, family finances management, gender roles in parenting, health situation, institutional responsiveness, and efficacy of institutional interventions to reduce gender-based violence.
