  • Attempted Femicide

    Open AccessRachel Jewkes, Shibe Mhlongo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Violence2026

    Purpose Women often do not recognize when they experience attempted femicide, so another way of measuring it is needed for research. We examined narrative accounts of femicide attempts, and analysed data to determine whether we could systematically expand the definition of attempted femicide, for the purposes of research. Methods We recruited a non-probability sample of 3742 women into the Fedisa ModikologoStudy. They were 18–45 years and had exp…

  • Group-based Self-Help Plus, Problem Management Plus and pre-exposure prophylaxis to improve mental health and reduce HIV risk in survivors of rape in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Open AccessJani Nöthling, Samantha Willan et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2025

    Gender-based violence (GBV) and HIV are highly prevalent in South Africa and are significant public health problems. Rape is a risk factor for both HIV acquisition and adverse mental health outcomes. Post-rape interventions targeting HIV and mental health are needed to mitigate risk and aid recovery. Self-Help Plus (SH+) and Problem Management Plus (PM+) are lay counsellor-facilitated, group-based mental health interventions. We adapted them for …

    Trauma exposure and witnessing intimate partner violence (IPV) in childhood are recognised risk factors for IPV. Using the UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific dataset, we describe the pathways through which they influence adult IPV perpetration. In nine sites, from six countries, data were collected in a two-stage, randomly-selected household survey, with one man aged 18–49 years interviewed per house. 8379 intervie…

  • Impact of South Africa’s April 2022 floods on women and men’s lives and gender relations in low-income communities

    Open AccessRachel Jewkes, A Gibbs et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2023

    In 2022, South Africa faced devastating flooding which resulted in the loss of at least 425 lives and widescale destruction of property. Using qualitative methods, we describe the gendered impact of the floods on homes and lives of women and men from very low-income housing areas. We conducted 16 in-depth interviews with women, and eight single-sex narrative group discussions and with 35 women and 15 men from flood-affected areas. The women were …

  • Acceptability of routine HIV counselling and testing among a sample of South African students

    Jani Nöthling, Ashraf KageeARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2013

    Routine HIV counseling and testing (RCT) is a necessary first step in accessing health care for persons who may test HIV-positive. Despite the availability of RCT in many South African settings, uptake has often been low. We sought to determine whether the main components of the Health Belief Model (HBM), namely perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits and perceived barriers could predict acceptance of RCT, and whether cue…
