| 520 | _aDespite a nearly balanced gender ratio and the perception of higher autonomy among Assamese women, the state has witnessed a disturbing rise in spousal violence, surpassing national averages. This article investigates the evolving trends and determinants of spousal violence in Assam by analysing data from the National Family Health Survey-4 (2015–16) and NFHS-5 (2019–21) rounds. There is an urgent need for a multi-sectoral policy response through community engagement, institutional accountability, legal reforms, and expansion of helpline and counselling services.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/11/commentary/escalating-spousal-violence-assam.html | ||
