The gruesome case involving 26-year old Shraddha Walkar, allegedly killed by her partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala has brought to fore the menace of intimate partner violence in the country.

The gruesome case involving 26-year old Shraddha Walkar, allegedly killed by her partner Aaftab Amin Poonawala has brought to fore the menace of intimate partner violence in the country. An HT analysis of various statistics shows that the problem is widespread, increases with age and seems to be more pervasive in India than previously believed. While access to education reduces the likelihood of intimate partner violence against women, the latest case shows it can happen in almost any strata of society. Here are five charts that explain this argument in detail.

Almost one in three women in the 18-49 year age-group have experienced physical or sexual violence in India

The National Family Health Survey (NFHS) provides comprehensive estimates on Indian women’s experience of physical or sexual violence since the age of 15 (the survey was conducted in the 18-49 years age group, and respondents were asked about incidence of violence since they were 15). The fifth NFHS round (2019-21) shows that 31.5% of Indian women in the 18-49 age group had experienced such violence at least once. This number is slightly higher than the 2015-16 value but lower than the 2005-06 number. To be sure, the latest NFHS report says that the numbers are not strictly comparable with fourth NFHS round because it sought these responses for women in the 15-49 age group. These numbers are extremely sensitive to reporting errors and could be underestimates. The report says that only one woman per household was selected for this module and responses were only sought if she had the privacy to answer the questions.
