Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of different forms of violence on Mexican women's attitudes and decision-making capacity. Specifically, attitudes toward gender equality are included as a mediator between violence and women's decision-making capacity.

RESULTS reveal that attitudes are a partial mediator between physical, sexual, and psychological violence and women's decision-making capacity. While physical, economic, and sexual violence negatively affect women's decision-making capacity, economic violence against women increases their involvement in decision-making.
