Abstract:
This study examines intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among second-generation immigrant women in Australia using a nationally representative dataset. It compares their experiences with those of nonimmigrant women and investigates whether IPV victimization is higher among women whose parents originate from countries with greater structural gender inequality, measured by the Gender Inequality Index. The findings reveal that second-generation immigrant women face a higher risk of IPV than nonimmigrant women. Women whose parents originate from countries with higher levels of structural gender inequality are more likely to experience IPV. These results underscore the importance of culturally responsive prevention and intervention strategies.
