Gupta, J et al. (2018) Disability status, intimate partner violence and perceived social support among married women in three districts of the Terai region of Nepal

This study examines the associations between severity of disability impairment, past-year intimate partner violence (IPV), past-year in-law violence, and perceived social support among married women in Nepal. The study concluded that disability status is associated with increased vulnerability to IPV, with the highest levels of IPV experienced by women with severe impairment. It recommends that future research be conducted to examine the mechanisms driving this pattern of violence toward women with disabilities.
