Background: Domestic violence is a serious and often underreported problem. No studies on domestic violence have been conducted in Oman. Aims: This study determined the prevalence and risk factors of emotional and/or physical domestic violence in Omani women, and the help-seeking behaviour of those experiencing domestic violence. Methods: This cross-sectional study in 2019 included literate women aged 18–60 years old attending primary health care centers in Muscat region. A self-administered questionnaire was used to record the characteristics of the women and determine the prevalence of emotional and physical domestic violence. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine risk factors for domestic violence. Results: Of 1051 women approached, 978 agreed to participate. Mean age of the women was 30.6 (standard deviation 6.9) years. Domestic violence was reported by 28.8% (282/978) of women: 21.0% (205/978) had experienced emotional domestic violence, 18.0% (176/978) physical domestic violence and 10.1% (99) both emotional and physical domestic violence. Domestic violence was significantly associated with husband’s alcohol consumption (odds ratio (OR) = 9.85, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.00–96.94), feeling depressed (OR = 2.90, 95% CI: 1.75–4.81), insomnia (OR = 2.54, 95% CI: 1.57–4.10) and somatic symptoms (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.08–2.78). Only 5.4% (11/205) of women experiencing emotional violence and 6.3% (11/176) experiencing physical violence had sought help from their doctors. Conclusion: Emotional and physical domestic violence against women is common in Oman and is associated with poor health outcomes. Addressing domestic violence in Oman is important and requires collaboration between different sectors.

Настоящий доклад содержит краткое описание некоторых проблем, уже существующих и новых, с которыми сталкиваются женщины и девочки в контексте табачной эпидемии в Европейском регионе. В докладе ставится акцент на гендерный характер употребления табака и его воздействия, а также на продолжающиеся попытки со стороны табачной промышленности нацеливать рекламу табака на женщин и девочек с помощью гендерно-дифференцированных сообщений. В нем также предлагаются рекомендации в отношении подходов и стратегий борьбы против табака с учетом гендерной специфики. Гендерное равенство и важность решения проблемы гендерно-дифференцированных рисков, связанных с употреблением табака, заложено в основе РКБТ ВОЗ. Целью настоящего доклада является закрепление этих аспектов РКБТ ВОЗ, дополнение докладов о борьбе против табака, опубликованных Европейским региональным бюро ВОЗ, и обеспечение выполнения рекомендаций стратегии ВОЗ в поддержку здоровья и благополучия женщин в Европейском регионе ВОЗ путем содействия осуществлению политики борьбы против табака с учетом гендерной проблематики.

This report provides a brief summary of some of the challenges, old and new, that women and girls face in the context of the tobacco epidemic in the WHO European Region, outlining the gendered nature of tobacco use and exposure and how the tobacco industry continues to target them through gendered messaging. It also provides recommendations for approaches and policy interventions that take a gender lens to tobacco control. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) strongly underpins gender equality and highlights the importance of addressing gender-specific risks. This report seeks to reinforce these aspects of the WHO FCTC, supplement tobacco-control reports published by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, and follow up on the recommendations of the WHO European strategy for women’s health and well-being by promoting gender-responsive tobacco-control policy.
