Abstract
Domestic Violence (DV) is a significant public health issue worldwide. It is defined as an episode or a series of controlling behavior, coercion and threats against people aged 16 and above by either current or past intimate partners and (or) family members despite sexual orientation or gender and can take many forms, including emotional, sexual and physical abuse and threats of abuse. The general aim of this paper was to identify major factors influencing domestic violence against women in Ethiopia using Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (2016) on domestic violence. A total of 4469 women who have ever married were included in the analysis and the result revealed that 35.2% of those women have experienced domestic violence from their husband/partner at some point in time. The result of binary logistic model confirmed that region, religion, wealth index, residing with husband/partner or not, husband’s/partner’s education level significantly influenced domestic violence against women. Therefore, critical emphasis should be given by the governement and social workers in order to eliminate and/or minimize domstic violence against women in Ethiopia.
