Empowerment through technology: domestic violence acceptance among Iraqi women in an intersectional context.
Article in BMC women's health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAcceptance of domestic violence against women refers to the belief that violence can be justified. Women's attitudes towards domestic violence shape societal acceptance, victimization, disclosure, and help-seeking behaviors. This study explored the role of gender, socio-economic status, regional disparities, and empowerment in domestic violence acceptance among Iraqi women.
methodsUsing data from the 2018 Iraq Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS 6) with 19,443 married Iraqi women, this cross-sectional study employed logistic regression analyses to investigate individual, interpersonal, community, and societal determinants of domestic violence acceptance.
results48.4% of married Iraqi women accepted domestic violence, with higher acceptance in South/Central regions (62-73%). Factors associated with higher acceptance included lower education (aOR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.35-0.45 for upper secondary education compared to preprimary or non), functional difficulties (aOR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.40-1.83), marriage to blood-related spouses (aOR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.36-1.54), and rural residence (aOR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.15-1.33). Conversely, owning a mobile phone (aOR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.44-0.50) and using a computer/tablet (aOR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.30-0.38) were associated with lower acceptance.
conclusionThese findings, given the lack of research on domestic violence among Iraqi women, highlight the urgent need for policy discussions supporting Sustainable Development Goals on gender equity and well-being. Enhanced access to technology could help women have better access to resources, support systems, and information, which would lower acceptance for domestic violence.
