Purpose <p>Violence against women has become a legitimate human rights issue, posing a major threat to their health and well-being. Domestic violence, which includes physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, has a profound detrimental impact on women’s physical and mental health, making it a pressing public health concern. In recent years, India has observed a significant rise in the incidence of domestic violence among ever-married women, with the eastern states contributing a larger share. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the prevalence and potential risk factors associated with different forms of domestic violence against women in Eastern India.</p> Methods <p>The data for the present study is obtained from the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-21). Prevalence of physical, emotional, and sexual violence is assessed through univariate analysis. To examine the association between different forms of domestic violence and explanatory variables, bivariate analysis using a chi-square test is conducted. Separate regression models are estimated for each form of violence.</p> Results <p>It has been observed that 32.7%, 14.3%, and 7.2% of women experienced physical, emotional, and sexual violence in the study area. The study highlights both significant similarities and dissimilarities in the risk factors associated with various forms of domestic violence. However, all forms of domestic violence against women: physical, emotional, and sexual, occur in households where women are employed, and husbands consume alcohol.</p> Conclusions <p>Overall, this study delves into the complexities of domestic violence against women of Eastern India, emphasising the urgent need for comprehensive intervention and support.</p>
