New Delhi: Global warming can also have an impact on domestic violence. Highly unthinkable but apparently the two are linked and India might experience the highest rate of violence against women A study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, on Wednesday found that an increase in temperatures leads to a substantial rise in domestic violence against women.
The South Asia-based study looks at three countries, India, Pakistan, and Nepal between 2010 and 2018, where thousands of girls and women spoke about their experience of emotional, physical and sexual violence. The study also noted that without any steps taken to limit emissions, which contribute to global warming and climate change, in the 2090s, India might experience the highest rate of violence against women among the three countries studied.
