N2  - Few studies have examined the phenomenon of in-law-perpetrated abuse against women within conflict-affected settings, where violence against women is already pervasive. A study in rural Cote d'Ivoire found that women whose lives were impacted by armed conflict had 1.7 times increased odds of reporting past-year in-law abuse compared to those who were not affected by crisis.
