How is culture an important factor in understanding intimate relationship violence?
ANSWER:
Around the world, violence against women reflects cultural traditions, beliefs, and values of patriarchal societies. International research indicates that rates of violence are higher in cultures that emphasize female purity, male status, and family honor. For example, one source of women's murders in Arab countries are brothers or other male relatives killing women who violated, or are suspected of violating, the family's honor. Intimate partner violence has also been found to be high in China and is associated with male patriarchal values and conflict resolution.
