In Sri Lanka, over one in three women experience intimate partner violence (IPV)
victimization in their lifetime, making it a serious public health concern.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) such as child abuse and neglect, witnessing
domestic violence, parental separation, and bullying are also widespread. Studies
in Western settings have shown positive associations between ACEs and IPV
perpetration in adulthood, but few have examined this relationship in a
non-Western context. In the present study, we examined the association of ACEs
with IPV perpetration among Sri Lankan men surveyed for the UN Multi-Country
Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific. We found statistically
significant positive associations between the number of ACE categories (ACE
score) and emotional, financial, physical, and sexual IPV perpetration among Sri
Lankan men. We analyzed the contributions of each ACE category and found that
childhood abuse was strongly associated with perpetration of IPV in adulthood,
with sexual abuse associated with the greatest increase in odds of perpetration
(Adjusted odds ratio 2.36; 95% confidence interval: 1.69, 3.30). Witnessing abuse
of one's mother was associated with the greatest increase in the odds of
perpetrating physical IPV (AOR 1.82; 95% CI: 1.29, 2.58), while lack of a male
parental figure was not associated with physical IPV perpetration (AOR 0.76; 95%
CI: 0.53, 1.09). These findings support a social learning theory of IPV
perpetration, in which children who are exposed to violence learn to perpetrate
IPV in adulthood. They also suggest that in Sri Lanka, being raised in a
female-headed household does not increase the risk of IPV perpetration in
adulthood compared to being raised in a household with a male parental figure.
The relationship between being raised in a female-headed household (the number of
which increased dramatically during Sri Lanka's recent civil war) and
perpetration of IPV warrants further study. Interventions that aim to decrease
childhood abuse in Sri Lanka could both protect children now and reduce IPV in
the future, decreasing violence on multiple fronts.
