Bolivia

Studies show that there is a higher rate of domestic violence in Latin America than anywhere else in the world, more specifically in Bolivia[1]. Women in Bolivia that are younger, in domestic relationships unmarried, with low economical status, and little education are more likely to be victims. The male victims in Bolivia who experience violence are seen as submissive, powerless, and weak to their partner and community . [2]

Domestic Life in Bolivia

[edit]

Violence between parters towards partners male or female is seen to most typically correlate to those who experienced abuse as a child. [3]The abuse could have be sexual, mental, or physical, it could also be first hand witness. Meaning those who are abused in their adult life witnessed abuse to someone close associating the acceptance of this behavior.

Domestic violence in Bolivia has been linked to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as anxiety and depression.[4] Side affects of violence that can be seen in women are frequent headaches, bursts of fear, hearing voices, seizers and/or convulsions. These side effects often lead to suicidal thoughts resulting in increased rates.[5] Bolivia contains a less than 1-100 ratio of citizens to mental health providers.[6] The small number of providers that are available are too expensive for average citizens, especially those who married for money.

The informal living quarters in Bolivia add to the exposure of violence even years after the urbanization of the country. The cities living quarters represent those of dwellings, self-built with no connection to basic services like water.[7] These quarters are wide spread across the country due to overcrowding that has lead to the countries high povery rates.[8]

While there are resources available in Bolivia, the government has done very little to impact the domestic violence in their country.
