Background Intimate Partner Violence is a great public health concern with economic, physical, mental, sexual and reproductive health consequences. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of intimate partner violence against women and associated factors in Ethiopia.
Methods A secondary data analysis was carried out based on the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey 2016. Both single and multilevel logistic regressions were employed.
Results Among ever-married women (15-49 years old) who have been participated in this study, 22.3%, 7.6% and 6.1% of women have experienced emotional, sexual and physical violence respectively. The prevalence of intimate partner violence was found to be 25.6%. Partner’s desire for children, number of living children, women ever chewed chat, husband/partner drinks alcohol, respondent's occupation, number of other wives, type of place of residence were found to be significant determinants of intimate partner violence.
Conclusion More than 1 in 4 ever married women in Ethiopia have experienced violence from their intimate partners. The government’s effort towards elimination of violence against women should be well strengthened by addressing intimate partner violence disparity in Ethiopian regions and also taking in to account other identified factors of intimate partner violence in this study.
