Intimate partner violence (IPV) occurs when an intimate partner or ex-partner causes physical, sexual, psychological, or financial harm. Gambling disorder is linked to higher rates of IPV. This study examined how gendered drivers of IPV, such as attitudes that excuse or justify violence against women, are linked to a male partner’s gambling. The researchers interviewed 30 adult women in Australia who had experienced gambling-related IPV. They found that gender inequality within intimate relationships set the context for IPV. Drivers of IPV included male partners’ patriarchal views about gender roles, control over decision-making, and restriction of their female partner’s independence. Another driver was the justification for the use of violence against women. As gambling escalated, so did the violence.
