this study comes from the Demographic and Health Surveys, (DHS). Parsimonious Logistic
regression models were estimated based on this data with the three forms of violence that is
Sexual, Physical and Emotional as the dependent variables and a set of demographic
variables that is age, marital status, education level, occupation, religion, region, residence
and wealth index as the explanatory variables. The results presented in this paper suggest
