This data is compiled from individual surveys conducted by the UN, UNICEF and USAID through several projects.
Each person was asked whether they felt domestic violence was acceptable.
It appears from the scatterplot on the left that in most countries more women than men say they find domestic violence acceptable.
It appears from the scatterplot on the right that more of the poorest women find domestic violence acceptable than the wealthiest women.
The lack of attitude data from North American and European countries is problematic. I am working on a project to change this lack of data.
