Abstract

Based upon four years of action-oriented ethnographic field research on wife abuse in Tajikistan, this article reveals the barriers that battered women face in accessing justice and victim support services in a developing, post-socialist, sovereign Central Asian state. In doing so, this article considers the cultural context in which wife abuse occurs, the local political context in which wife abuse emerged as a social problem worthy of discourse, and efforts underway locally to conceptualize wife abuse as issues of violence against women and human rights. This article makes a significant contribution to the limited body of research and literature on wife abuse in Tajikistan and Central Asia.
