Abstract

As one of the fastest developing countries in the world, Turkey has been suffering from
domestic violence significantly in recent decades and it has been one of the hottest topics discussed
both in public and in the national media. On the other hand, it is interesting that according to United
Nations Turkey is one of the leading countries in the MENA regarding the fight against domestic
violence and supporting women’s legal rights in general. However, beyond the legal rights and state
support to women, together with other socioeconomic factors, employment status and financial
empowerment of women may be linked to sexual and physical violence against women. In this study,
it is aimed to investigate this potential relationship by using the “Research on Domestic Violence
Against Women in Turkey” survey data conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute in 2014. The
multinomial probit model was used to modeling the effects of employment and financial
empowerment on violence against women. According to estimations results, women who have a job
may less likely to experience some types of domestic violence.
