HKA preliminary study by Singaporean NGO SG Her Empowerment (SHE), reported by Channel NewsAsia, found that nearly one in three younger Singaporean men (born in 1981 or later) either agreed or were neutral with the statement that spousal violence could ever be acceptable. This contrasts with 20% of older men (born in 1964 or earlier). While 80% of all respondents—both men and women—disagreed with the notion of acceptable spousal violence, female respondents showed more consistent attitudes across age groups, with fewer than 20% agreeing or being neutral. The survey included 2,087 Singapore citizens and permanent residents aged 15 and above, conducted in December.
