This indicator reflects the percentage of women aged 15-49 who condone the use of violence in intimate relationships under specific circumstances, such as when food is burned. It sheds light on
underlying cultural norms and attitudes toward gender roles and household responsibilities. High levels of agreement with this belief may indicate entrenched societal views that accept domestic violence as a valid response to perceived failure or mistakes by women, often stemming from broader patriarchal structures. Understanding this statistic is crucial for developing targeted interventions aimed at changing social perceptions of domestic violence and promoting gender equality, as it highlights a need for education and awareness on healthy relationship dynamics and respect within the home.
