Project Information

Yes to Wife Beating! is a further development and analysis of one of the data visualizations created in the project Can I Beat My Wife? It visualizes the acceptance of wife beating amongst countries surveyed by the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Program and explores the opinions by women and men toward domestic violence and how it can be justified for a number of reasons (1 if she neglects the children, 2 if she goes out without telling him, 3 if she argues with him, 4 if she refuses to have sex with him, 5 if she burns the food). This data visualization analyzes and illustrates the counterintuitive discovery that women agreed more than men for at least one of the five reasons.
