TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - An international study of the contextual effects of gender inequality on intimate partner sexual violence against women students JO - Feminist criminology A1 - LeSuer, Will SP - 97 EP - 118 VL - 15 IS - 1 N2 - Rejecting biological and essentialist explanations, feminist scholars posit that gender inequality is a driving force behind sexual violence against women. Using an ecological approach, I test for significant associations between national-level gender inequality and intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV). I use multi-level generalized linear modeling to analyze the responses of 9,126 women from 29 countries in the International Dating Violence Study. I find that while controlling for other risk factors, gender inequality is significantly associated with increased odds of having experienced severe, but not minor, forms of IPSV.
