Özet
As one of the fastest developing countries in the world, Turkey has been suffering from domestic violence significantly in recent decades and it has been one of the hottest topics discussed both in public and in the national media. On the other hand, it is interesting that according to United Nations Turkey is one of the leading countries in the MENA regarding the fight against domestic violence and supporting women’s legal rights in general. However, beyond the legal rights and state support to women, together with other socioeconomic factors, employment status and financial empowerment of women may be linked to sexual and physical violence against women. In this study, it is aimed to investigate this potential relationship by using the “Research on Domestic Violence Against Women in Turkey” survey data conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute in 2014. The multinomial probit model was used to modeling the effects of employment and financial empowerment on violence against women. According to estimations results, women who have a job may less likely to experience some types of domestic violence.
