Description

Ruchira Naved and four co-authors follow women's experience of partner violence across 19 years in rural Bangladesh, in a 2025 study. Repeat abuse is common, but how it starts, stops, and restarts over a life was little known. The team used a cohort of about 1,080 women first met in pregnancy, then again 10 and 18 years on. Math models for step-by-step change mapped who moved between safety and abuse.

Seven in ten women abused before the study were abused again by year ten. Three in ten with no past abuse reported new abuse in that span. By year 18, repeat abuse had fallen among the longest-hit group. Low say in daily choices raised risk, while support and schooling guarded some women. The authors urge help that stays with women over years, not one-off aid.
