It describes the complementary efforts as ranging from identifying champions and advocates for postabortion care to providing technical assistance for replication and scale-up. It draws on specific country program experiences in sub-Saharan Africa Latin Americ…
The Effectiveness of a Community‐based Education Program on Abandoning Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in Senegal
A pre‐ and post‐test comparison‐group design was used to evaluate the effect of a community education program on community members' willingness to abandon female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) in rural areas of southern Senegal. Developed by TOSTAN (a Senegalese nongovernmental organization), the education program aimed to empower women through a broad range of educational and health‐promoting activities.

Domestic violence against women in Egypt-wife beating and health outcomes
An Empirical Investigation of Attitudes towards Wife-Beating among Men and Women in Seven Sub-Saharan African Countries
This study used data from the demographic and health surveys (DHS) conducted between 1999 and 2001 in Benin, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mali, Rwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe, to examine the magnitude and correlates of conditional acceptance of wife-beating among both men and women. Multivariate logistic regression models were fitted to investigate the independent association between different socio-demographic characteristics and acceptance of wife-beating. T…

This study examines heaping of reported durations of three postpartum variables in five countries based on two methods of data collection in retrospective surveys. Two Demographic and Health Surveys were conducted for each of the countries, one that used a five‐year month‐by‐month calendar to record the durations and a subsequent survey in which duration information was collected from simple questions in the body of the questionnaire. Heaping ind…
