CS 210 Project Proposal

Our motivation in this project is to find the relation between the education level of individuals, economic conditions, and violence against women. To achieve that we examine some data sources in UN database which includes level of education for both genders separately for most countries and we have the data that contains the percentage of woman who accepts that sustains husband or partner violence also we possess the data from World Bank that shows us economic situations in our focused countries according to its gross national product per capita. We believe that less educated men tend to use violence against their partners more than well-educated people. Also, in our opinion more educated women seem to be more powerful according to their partners than less educated ones. This kind of the point of view is disincentive factor on men about to use violence against their partners. In the other hand in the case of attitude towards women, we believe that the stress created by financial difficulties and lower wage, the fear of unemployment and the harsh living conditions of the individuals increase the rate of violence. In order to support our hypothesis, we mentioned above, on the subject try to find a correlation between our data.
