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
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 …
What research evidence is required on violence against women to inform future pandemic preparedness? A scoping review of the research evidence and gaps
INTRODUCTION: Violence against women (VAW) during the COVID-19 pandemic was described as the 'shadow pandemic' with an increase in reports of VAW. As countries now focus on becoming more resilient to future pandemics, it is critical to understand what we learnt about evidence on VAW burden, prevention, and response during the COVID-19 pandemic. The WHO commissioned this scoping review to gain an understanding of the research evidence on VAW durin…
Is addressing violence against women prioritised in health policies? Findings from a WHO policies database
Violence against women (VAW) affects almost 1 in 3 women and can lead to short and long-term adverse health outcomes. The health sector is an important entry point to respond to VAW. Globally, countries have committed to eliminating VAW through the SDGs and WHO Member States have endorsed a Global Plan of Action on Violence, which asks countries to provide comprehensive health services to VAW survivors. To track progress and establish a baseline …
Combining a guided self-help and brief alcohol intervention to improve mental health and reduce substance use among refugee men in Uganda
Evidence on the effectiveness and implementation of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions for men in humanitarian settings is limited. Moreover, engagement and retention of men in such interventions has been challenging. Adaptations may therefore be required to improve the appropriateness and acceptability of these interventions for men. This study conducted formative research and examined the feasibility of combining an MH…
Patterns of Womenʼs exposure to psychological violence
This study confirms the three-class pattern but suggests some differences across countries. and regions. We suggest cut points distinguishing violent from non-violent acts and demarcating levels of severity for future study. Findings offer evidence-based guidance to rectify challenges
Global, regional, and national prevalence estimates of physical or sexual, or both, intimate partner violence against women in 2018
BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence against women is a global public health problem with many short-term and long-term effects on the physical and mental health of women and their children. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for its elimination in target 5.2. To monitor governments' progress towards SDG target 5.2, this study aimed to provide global, regional, and country baseline estimates of physical or sexual, or both, violence ag…
The Associations of Intimate Partner Violence and Non-Partner Sexual Violence with Hypertension in South African Women
This study describes associations of intimate partner violence (IPV), non-partner sexual violence (NPSV) and sexual harassment (SH) exposures with hypertension in South African women aged 18-40 years. Baseline data ( n = 1742) from the Rape Impact Cohort Evaluation study, including a history of sexual, physical, emotional and economic IPV, NPSV and SH were examined. Hypertension was based on blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg or a previous diagnosis. Lo…
Knowledge, attitudes and practices of health care providers trained in responding to violence against women
This package of interventions, including training of HCPs, improved HCPs' knowledge, attitudes and practices, yet changes in attitudes and preparedness did not sustain over time. This study indicates feasibility and positive influence of a multi-component intervention to improve HCP readiness to respond to violence against women in a low-resource setting. Future phases of intervention development include adapting this intervention package for pri…

Protections for women and girls must be built into response plans
Measuring psychological abuse by intimate partners
Psychological abuse within intimate relationships is linked to negative health outcomes among women and is frequently identified as more wounding than physical or sexual violence. There is little agreement, however, on how to conceptualize or measure the phenomenon, despite measurement being necessary to estimate the prevalence of psychological abuse, establish its interaction with physical and sexual violence, assess its health impacts, and moni…
Pathways between childhood trauma, intimate partner violence, and harsh parenting
BACKGROUND: Although childhood trauma and violence against women are global public health issues, few population-based data from low-income and middle-income countries exist about the links between them. We present data from the UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific, exploring the pathways between different forms of childhood trauma and violence against women. METHODS: In this multicountry study, we interviewed multis…
A systematic review and meta‐analysis of intimate partner violence during pregnancy and selected birth outcomes
Bridging the gaps
BACKGROUND: The international community recognises violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC) as global human rights and public health problems. Historically, research, programmes, and policies on these forms of violence followed parallel but distinct trajectories. Some have called for efforts to bridge these gaps, based in part on evidence that individuals and families often experience multiple forms of violence that may be…

Addressing violence against women
Advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights in low- and middle-income countries
The papers and commentaries in this special issue illuminate progress made by low- and middle-income countries towards implementation of the Programme of Action (PoA) agreed by 179 countries during the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo in 1994. The PoA presents a path-breaking sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) framework for global and national population and health policies. While progress towards impl…
Commentary
Overall, 35% of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner or non-partner sexual violence, although most is by an intimate partner (World Health Organization, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, & South African Medical Research Council, 2013). Many other forms of violence can affect women and girls, such as trafficking, female genital mutilation, early and forced marriage, murders in…
Intimate partner violence among adolescents and young women
Adolescence and early adulthood is an important period in laying the foundation for healthy and stable relationships, and women's health and well-being overall. Ensuring that adolescents and young women enjoy relationships free of violence is an important investment in their future
Intimate partner violence, abortion, and unintended pregnancy
OBJECTIVE: To explore how intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with unintended pregnancy and abortion in primarily low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: Population data are presented from 17 518 ever-partnered women participating in the WHO Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence in 15 sites in 10 countries. Using multiple logistic regression analyses, associations between physical and/or sexual partner violence …
Prevalence of and factors associated with male perpetration of intimate partner violence
BACKGROUND: Male perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) is under-researched. In this Article, we present data for the prevalence of, and factors associated with, male perpetration of IPV from the UN Multi-country Cross-sectional Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of perpetration of partner violence, identify factors associated with perpetration of different forms of violence, and inform…
Violence against women
Violence against women has been described as “perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and the most pervasive.”1 Addressing violence against women is central to the achievement of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 3 on women's empowerment and gender equality, as well as MDGs 4, 5 and 6.2 It is also a peace and security issue. In spite of this recognition, investment in prevention and in services for survivors remains woefully inadequate.…
What factors are associated with recent intimate partner violence? findings from the WHO multi-country study on women's health and domestic violence
IPV prevention programs should increase focus on transforming gender norms and attitudes, addressing childhood abuse, and reducing harmful drinking. Development initiatives to improve access to education for girls and boys may also have an important role in violence prevention
Violence against women is strongly associated with suicide attempts
Intimate partner violence during pregnancy
We aimed to describe the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy across 19 countries, and examine trends across age groups and UN regions. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (20 surveys from 15 countries) and the International Violence Against Women Surveys (4 surveys from 4 countries) carried out between 1998 and 2007. Our data suggest that intimate partner violence during a p…

Violence Against Women
This Policy Forum presents new global evidence on the extent of domestic violence against women. Data from more than 24,000 women in 10 geographically and culturally varied countries involved in the WHO Multi-Country Study on Women9s Health and Domestic Violence highlights that violence is widespread and illustrates the degree to which levels vary between settings. It argues that violence against women is a complex social problem with far-reachin…
