Sample Solution
Domestic violence remains a widespread problem with adverse health and economic consequences across the world. During their lifetime, approximately 30% of women aged 15 and older experience physical or sexual violence from their partners, and this prevalence is even higher in developing countries (World Health Organization 2013). Increased schooling for girls in Turkey has led to a rise in psychological violence, but also reduced the intergenerational transmission of violence. Increased female education has significantly reduced the intergenerational transmission of violence by decreasing child physical maltreatment by mothers who experienced violence from their own parents (Erten and Keskin 2019). In 1997, Turkey implemented a new education policy – the Basic Education Programme (BEP) – by increasing compulsory schooling from five to eight years.
