AB  - Violence against women is widely recognized as a serious public health problem in 
      the world. Especially violence against pregnant women has more severe health 
      consequences for both women and child. The objective of this study is to examine 
      the prevalence and factors affecting violence during pregnancy in India. Data 
      from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-4 are used to analyze this study. 
      NFHS is a series of demographic health surveys conducted in India. Information on 
      violence against pregnant women was collected for the first time in NFHS-4. 
      Univariate and multivariate analyses are used to show the factors affecting 
      violence during pregnancy. Study results reveal that the prevalence of violence 
      varied among states from 0.5% to 9%, and women in South India were at a greater 
      risk of abuse during pregnancy than that of women in other parts of India. Women 
      with no education, women in poor household, women having three and more children, 
      and women from rural area are at greater risk of being victims of violence during 
      motherhood. Effective strategies such as responsive health care system, effective 
      implementation of legal measures, and educating and engaging men in preventing 
      violence are urgently needed.
