Perspectives of religious beliefs and family planning by religious leaders and young women
Burkina Faso is religiously diverse compared to its neighbors. Religion and religious leaders are often perceived as being against family planning (FP) use. That said, the literature on different religions and religious leaders’ position on FP does not demonstrate a uniform stance and there is a dearth of perspectives related to use among young people. Qualitative data for this study were collected in July 2022 in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, …
Breaking with traditions
Studies examining norms and behaviors around female genital mutilation (FGM) are needed to accelerate progress towards the elimination of this harmful practice. This study uses nationally representative data from a pilot FGM module among women ages 15–49 from Burkina Faso collected in 2023/2024. Three main outcomes related to attitudes, norms and behaviors are used to determine which women who themselves experienced FGM are early adopters of norm…
“You could find a good or a bad provider, I would say you just have to go and see”
This qualitative study from Burkina Faso explores community-level perceptions of family planning (FP) service quality among FP users and non-users. It examines how perspectives on service quality may influence women’s motivation to seek modern methods from health facilities. For this study, twenty focus group discussions were undertaken with non-users and current users of modern FP including unmarried, sexually active women ages 15–19 and 20–24 a…
Empowerment and intervention strategies to strengthen the use of sexual and reproductive health services by ensuring continuity of care for adolescent girls and internally displaced women in Burkina F…
Background: In Burkina Faso, a security crisis has displaced families within the country, fleeing high-risk areas. One of the major consequences of this displacement is the low use of sexual and reproductive health care and services, and the reduced empowerment of adolescent girls and internally displaced women (IDP). This research aims to analyze the situation and co-develop intervention strategies to strengthen the empowerment of these adolesce…
Violence against women from partners and other household members during Covid-19 in Burkina Faso and Kenya
Past-year IPV and household violence against women in Kenya and Burkina Faso were prevalent, and in some cases, intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across settings, help-seeking from formal services was notably low, likely reflecting shame, blame, and stigmatization identified as barriers in pre-COVID literature. Both primary prevention and survivor-centered support services, including those related to economic empowerment, should be integr…
Social Network‐Based Induced Abortion Incidence Estimation in Burkina Faso
Social network‐based methods are increasingly used to estimate induced abortion incidence and investigate correlates. Approaches differ in the social tie definitions used to identify which social network members’ abortion experiences respondents will report. This study compares the effect of using the “best friend” (closest female friend) versus “confidante” (specifying mutual sharing of personal information) definition on abortion incidence esti…
Avec qui les enfants vont-ils vivre ? Facteurs associés au partage du temps parental lors d’une séparation1
Pendant longtemps, la plupart des enfants qui vivaient la séparation de leurs parents allaient habiter avec leur mère. Les parents séparés sont toutefois de plus en plus nombreux à partager les responsabilités parentales de façon plus équitable, notamment par la garde partagée (ou double résidence, ou résidence alternée). Afin d’identifier les caractéristiques des familles qui influencent la manière dont les ex-conjoints partageront le temps pare…
What explains gender inequalities in HIV/Aids prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence from the demographic and health surveys
The factors that explain gender inequality in HIV/AIDS in SSA vary by country, suggesting that country-specific interventions are needed. Unmeasured factors also contributed substantially to the difference in HIV/AIDS prevalence between women and men, highlighting the need for further study
What lies behind gender inequalities in HIV/Aids in sub-Saharan African countries
Within sub-Saharan Africa, women are disproportionately at risk for acquiring and having human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is important to clarify whether gender inequalities in HIV prevalence in this region are explained by differences in the distributions of HIV risk factors, differences in the effects of these risk factors or some combination of both. We used an extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca dec…
