This 2020 cross-sectional study was designed to determine the prevalence of IPV among women in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It surveyed 810 Bahraini women age 18+ who were married, widowed or divorced, asking them to share any IPV experience witnessed during their marriage. The study found that the prevalence of IPV among Bahraini women was 71.11%. Although this lifetime experience was only among married women, given what we know about the prevalence of marriage in Bahraini culture, we can assume this percentage is fairly representative for Bahraini women in general (KMM-CODER COMMENT).
