Climate Change impact on Domestic violence?
News: Domestic violence will rise as temperatures across the Indian subcontinent spike. In fact, such instances are already increasing, according to study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.
Background:
• An international team of researchers from China, Pakistan, Australia, Germany, Tanzania, the United Kingdom and the United States found epidemiological evidence that high ambient temperature may be associated with the risk of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) against women.
Key Findings:
• They found each 1 °C increase in the annual mean temperature associated with a mean increase in IPV prevalence of 4.49 per cent.
• The prevalence of physical violence was highest (23.0 per cent), followed by emotional (12.5 per cent), and sexual violence (9.5 per cent). The annual temperature ranges were mostly between 20°C and 30°C.
How does increasing temperature increase IPV occurance?
• Increasing temperature is squeezing working hours, directly impacting the income of daily wage earners.
• All members of the family are being forced to spend maximum time within the house, increasing the workload for women.
• Increasing temperature also generated requirements for comfort which low income groups and economically weaker sections cannot afford.
• High temperature also has a direct impact on mental health. All this is contributing to domestic violence.
