What works to prevent violence against women from 2000-2024
Perceptions of masculinity and relationship power among young men in Durban and Soweto, South Africa
Masculinities influence sexual, reproductive, and mental health outcomes and health seeking behaviours, as they intersect with socioeconomic, cultural and political forces. In post-apartheid South Africa, racialised inequities and social change shape how young men navigate gender and relationships. This paper explores how young men living in urban informal settlements understand masculinity and relationship power. Cognitive interviews were conduc…
The Role of Housing Conditions, Air Quality and Green Spaces on the Psychological Well-being of Adolescents living with HIV
Background The psychological well-being of adolescents is often associated with environmental factors such as air pollution, green spaces and housing conditions; however, little is known about how these factors shape the experiences of adolescents living with HIV in under-resourced communities. Aim This study explored the role of urban environmental factors, including housing conditions, air quality and green spaces, on the psychological well-bei…
Examining the influence of alcohol consumption on the protective function of social support in reducing intimate partner violence among adolescent girls and young women
Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a major public health and human rights concern in South Africa, particularly among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). While social support is widely recognized as a protective factor against IPV, its effectiveness may be compromised in contexts of alcohol use. This study investigated the influence of alcohol use on the risk of IPV and the moderating role of perceived social support in reducing this ri…
Depressive symptomatology and their correlates among caregivers of children and adolescents living with HIV in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Background Few studies have examined factors linked to depressive symptomatology among caregivers of children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV). This study estimated prevalence of depressive symptoms and identified associated factors among caregivers of CALHIV in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.Methods We used baseline data from a cluster-randomised controlled trial of the impact of a cash transfer program and an economic empowerment intervent…
Spatial mapping of HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy initiation uptake among the adolescents and youth in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
This study investigated the spatial distribution of HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy initiation among adolescents and youth in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, to inform the optimal allocation of HIV services. The sample included 5,352 participants aged 13-35 years from nested cohort studies within Africa's largest population-based prospective cohorts, with global positioning system data collected for all homesteads. HIV testing prevalenc…
How do community contexts shape relationship dynamics? A case study of young people living in informal settlements in eThekwini municipality, South Africa
For young people intimate relationships are a key space in which health and wellbeing are strengthened or undermined. This study seeks to understand how contextual factors shape relationship quality among young heterosexual people in informal settlements in eThekwini Municipality, South Africa. In-depth interviews with (N = 30) young (ages 18-30) heterosexual women and men living in informal settlements, stakeholders (N = 13, aged 18+) and partic…
Relationship-level factors influencing intimate partner violence and relationship quality among young couples in an urban informal settlement in South Africa
Couples programming is an evidence-based strategy to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV) and strengthen relationship quality. Stepping Stones Creating Futures (SSCF) is a 21-session participatory programme for young adults (18-30 years) that integrates gender equity, communication and livelihoods skills, and has been evaluated in informal settlements in eThekwini, South Africa. Zithandani SSCF is an adaptation engaging young heterosexual coup…
Association between food insecurity and intimate partner violence
Introduction Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects an estimated 27% of women globally, with consequences spanning mental, physical and societal well-being. Previous research identifies individual and relational risk factors for IPV, but less is known about wider structural factors. This study examines the association between food insecurity and IPV using nationally-representative data from 156 countries, exploring gendered asset policies as a p…
Impact of witnessing abuse of their mother and childhood trauma on men's perpetration of intimate partner violence in the cross-sectional UN multi-country study on men and violence in Asia and the Pac…
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…
Exploratory analysis of risk factors for suicidal ideation among young men in urban informal settlements in durban, South Africa
Suicidal ideation – thoughts about suicide, but not necessarily planning or attempting - is common among young people in Low and Middle-Income Countries. There has been a significant focus on poor mental health as a key driver of suicidal ideation, yet structural challenges such as poverty, economic and social marginalisation and gender norms, have also been shown to be critical drivers of suicidal ideation among young men. We conducted an explor…
Zethembe
Effective interventions to address violence against women and girls in urban informal settlements are limited. To address this gap, we undertook an intervention co-development process, bringing together four young women (aged 18–25 years) living in an urban informal settlement, academics and NGO partners. Following the 6 Steps in Quality Intervention Development (6SQuID) approach we collaboratively worked through the steps using participatory met…
Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus
Marginalised young women and men in South Africa experience and perpetrate high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV), shaped by their contexts and life histories. To address this, we co-developed Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus (SSCF+) with young women and men living in marginalised communities to reduce IPV, strengthen livelihoods and improve mental health. We assessed the intervention’s feasibility, acceptability and potential imp…
Implementing statewide literacy and special education training in the U.S
Understanding non-partner sexual violence perpetration in young Tanzanian men
The widespread nature of sexual harassment and rape perpetration among young men in our study and the associated risk factors, which are all tied to notions of masculinity encouraging domination, promiscuity, and risky health behaviours, call for harmful gender norms to be addressed to reduce the incidence of NPSV
We do not like talking about our problems’
These findings may be useful for the formulation of evidence-based context-specific and culturally sensitive approaches for increasing men's access to mental health and psychological support services on South African college campuses
Emotion regulation strategies among young men in rural areas and urban informal settlements in South Africa
Emotional dysregulation (ED), the inability to manage emotional responses effectively is a well-documented major symptom of poor mental health, especially in high-income countries. Evidence from these settings links ED to adverse childhood experiences, chronic poverty, and structural disadvantage. ED has also been associated with increased risk of HIV acquisition and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration, particularly among men. Despite th…
“Something we can all share”
Food insecurity remains a pressing global issue and South Africa continues to face socioeconomic inequalities that make securing food a challenge for many young people. To address this challenge, we need better understanding of the social context of food and its importance in driving perceptions and behaviours about food and its scarcity. In this study, we examine the meaning of food for young people living in urban informal settlements and rural…
“Good fathers”
Globally, perceptions of idealized fatherhood have been expanding beyond men’s breadwinning roles to also value men’s engagement in nurturing care. While fathers’ caregiving behaviors are increasing, most childcare activities are still largely performed by mothers. In this study, we unpacked community members’ beliefs about the meaning of “good fathers” and explored the degree to which these values aligned with the main caregiving behaviors repor…
Pathways to transactional sex among peri-urban South African women
Transactional sex increases sub-Saharan African women's risk of HIV acquisition.We quantitatively explored the pathways contributing towards women's future engagement in transactional sex with casual partners and khwapheni (secret concurrent sex partners).We conducted secondary data analysis from a cluster randomised controlled trial in urban informal settlements in eThekwini Municipality.,South Africa.Data were collected at enrolment (t0) and 24…
Reflections on the process, challenges, and lessons learned conducting remote qualitative research on Violence against women during Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in South Africa
Given the methodological and ethical challenges which limited disclosure of VAW remotely, we conclude that telephone interviews used in our study impacted on the quality of study data. Therefore, we do not recommend VAW research to be conducted remotely, unless it is essential and participants are already known to the interviewer and trust has been established
Intimate Partner Violence and HIV Outcomes Among Women Living with HIV in Durban, South Africa
We examined the impact of past-year intimate partner violence (IPV) on HIV outcomes among women living with HIV (WLHIV) in Durban, South Africa. We assessed past-year IPV using the WHO Violence Against Women Questionnaire. We conducted logistic regression to assess associations between demographic variables and IPV at baseline, and between IPV at baseline and longitudinal HIV outcomes. Among 235 WLHIV, 17% reported past-year emotional, physical, …
Pilot cluster randomised controlled trial of Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus to reduce emotional dysregulation among young men in rural areas and urban informal settlements in KwaZulu-Natal …
Aim: Emotional dysregulation (ED) – the difficulty to control emotional responses to stressors – is a potential driver of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration among young men in HIV endemic resource-limited settings. This two-armed pilot cluster randomised controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of Stepping Stones and Creating Futures Plus (SSCF+), a participatory gender transformative and livelihood strengthening intervention, on…
Couples, alcohol use and experience of intimate partner violence among young women in urban informal settlements in Durban, South Africa
Alcohol is recognized as a driver of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and experience, but relatively little research has focused on the role of couples' drinking patterns, nor pathways between alcohol and violence. We draw on data collected among young (18-30 year old) people living in informal settlements who self-selected to enroll in an intervention trial to reduce IPV in Durban, South Africa to understand these dynamics. Between S…
Young Men's Experiences of Being Fathered and Absent Father's Experience
The impact of absent fathers can be a significant challenge for young people, but particularly for young men. Our study drew on 19 in-depth interviews with young men living in urban informal settlements in South Africa, to understand how they understood the impact of biological father absence. Young men described an idealized fatherhood role in which biological fathers provided economic support, active fathering (including emotional support), and…
Heeding the Push from Below
This article discusses three successful pro-poor social movements: the Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement, the Indian wing of the People's Health Movement and the South African Treatment Action Campaign. These have mobilized poor people to demand access to land, health services and life-saving medical treatment respectively. We show how each group has succeeded not only through building the 'voice' of the poor to make forceful demands, but also…
Youth participation in the fight against Aids in South Africa
Effective youth participation in social development and civic life can enhance young peoples’ health and well-being. Yet many obstacles stand in the way of such involvement. Drawing on 105 interviews, 52 focus groups and fieldworker diaries, this paper reports on a study of a rural South African project which sought to promote effective youth participation in HIV/AIDS management. The paper highlights three major obstacles which might be tackled m…
Gendered syndemic of intimate partner violence, alcohol misuse, and HIV risk among peri-urban, heterosexual men in South Africa
Men whose sexual behaviors place them at risk of HIV often exhibit a "cluster" of risky behaviors, including alcohol misuse and violence against women. Called the "Substance Abuse, Violence and AIDS (SAVA) syndemic," this intersecting set of issues is poorly understood among heterosexual men in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a baseline survey with a cohort of men in an informal, peri-urban settlement near Johannesburg during the period of Jan -…
Female garment workers' experiences of violence in their homes and workplaces in Bangladesh
I Tried to Resist and Avoid Bad Friends
Urban informal settlements are sites of high HIV incidence and intimate partner violence (IPV). Young men in these contexts often draw on a youthful hypermasculinity that prioritize sexual dominance and displays of violence, although many aspire to a traditional masculinity, which is less violent and uses economic provision and social dominance to control women. Working with young men, we undertook a gender transformative and livelihood strengthe…
The Changing Nature and Context of Social Work Research
Social work research is constantly diversifying and expanding and this article explores its changing nature; including changes to epistemology and practice; and the critical influence of the wider economic, political, theoretical and practice changes occurring to social work itself. The author discusses a number of issues facing social work research: the enduring conflicts of ways of knowing, doing and valuing social work research; the role of pr…
Assessing risk factors and health impacts across different forms of exchange sex among young women in informal settlements in South Africa
For women in South Africa, engaging in exchange sex, including transactional sex (TS), or sex work (SW), is associated with several shared poor health outcomes; yet the practices themselves differ in meaningful ways. SW is a form of commodity exchange, while TS is grounded in gendered relationship expectations of male provision and aspects of emotional intimacy. Additionally, exchange sex types could be imagined on a "continuum of instrumentality…
Narratives of Masculinity in the Daily Sun
Dominant and hegemonic masculinities typically place women and men at risk of contracting HIV through reinforcing gender inequalities. Challenging these masculinities is increasingly seen as a precondition for tackling HIV&AIDS. Narratives of masculinity are the symbolic tools, which men draw upon to construct their social identities. Understanding the composition of these narratives of masculinity is central for understanding how narratives of m…
A preliminary assessment of how zoo visitors evaluate animal welfare according to enclosure style and the expression of behavior
Visitors to zoos make judgements about animal welfare on the basis of what they see during their visit. There has been a considerable amount of research and debate surrounding the use of enclosure style and/or animal behavior to act as indicators of animal welfare. There are assumptions, supported by some studies but contradicted by others, that naturalistic enclosures and the expression of "wild behavior" inherently promote good welfare. These a…
Did young women in South African informal settlements display increased agency after participating in the Stepping Stones and Creating Futures intervention? A qualitative evaluation
This paper investigates the impact of the Stepping Stones Creating Futures (SSCF) intervention on young women in informal settlements in eThekwini, South Africa. Specifically, whether following participation in the intervention the young women experienced a reduction in intimate partner violence, strengthened agency and shifted gender relations. Where changes occurred, it examines how they occurred, and barriers and enablers to change. SSCF is a …
Workplace violence in Bangladesh's garment industry
Conceptualisations of fatherhood and socio-contextual dynamics influencing father involvement in informal settlements in Durban, South Africa
Many men living in informal settlements are unemployed and many do not live with their children. Nevertheless, these men can play a critical role in their children’s lives. In this paper, we explore the extent to which fathers in informal settlements manage or aspire to do this. We explore how they appreciate the social and familial role of “the father” and how they seek to translate these ideas into actions. Findings are based on three FGDs and …
Social Contexts and Building Social Capital for Collective Action
Social capital is increasingly conceptualised in academic and policy literature as a panacea for a range of health and development issues, particularly in the context of HIV. In this paper, we conceptualise social capital as an umbrella concept capturing processes including networks, norms, trust and relationships that open up opportunities for participation and collective action that allow communities to address issues of common concern. We spec…

Couples, alcohol use and experience of intimate partner violence among young women in urban informal settlements in Durban, South Africa
Alcohol is recognized as a driver of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and experience, but relatively little research has focused on the role of couples' drinking patterns, nor pathways between alcohol and violence. We draw on data collected among young (18-30 year old) people living in informal settlements who self-selected to enroll in an intervention trial to reduce IPV in Durban, South Africa to understand these dynamics. Between S…
Differential impact on men in an IPV prevention intervention
Working with men to prevent their perpetration of intimate partner violence and non-partner sexual violence is increasingly recognised as effective. However, in any given context there are a multiplicity of masculinities, each of which has a different association with violence perpetration. There remains lack of clarity about whether such interventions impact all men and masculinities equally. We undertook a post-hoc analysis of men involved in t…
A study on capacity development in the "What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women" programme
While there is consensus among those working to prevent violence against women and girls of the need to develop the capacity of researchers and implementers working in the global South, there is insufficient evidence on how to effectively achieve this. This article reflects on the approaches used by the What Works programme to develop capacity. It recommends that effective capacity development requires: meaningful commitment; an organic process d…
Dissemination as Intervention”
What ethical obligations do researchers have to research informants in marginalised communities in serious distress? Our “dissemination as intervention” exercise reported research findings back to a South African rural community—using a dialogical approach which sought to strengthen participants’ confidence and ability to respond more effectively to HIV/AIDS. Nine workshops were conducted with 121 people. Workshops provided opportunities for part…

Representations of HIV/Aids management in South African newspapers
In South Africa, numerous strong policy statements emphasise the importance of involving communities in HIV/AIDS management, yet in practice such involvement tends to be tokenistic and minimal. Social representations in the public sphere constitute the symbolic dimension within which responses to HIV and AIDS are conceptualised and transformed into action. Through an analysis of newspaper articles, we explore the dominant representations of HIV/A…
Gender, famine and HIV/Aids
Although making a large and rapid impact on our understandings of the interactions between famine and HIV/AIDS, the new variant famine hypothesis has had little critical scrutiny. This paper uses a case study of the Malawian food crisis of 2001/2002 to contribute to understandings of new variant famine (NVF). The critical approach argues that a consideration for gender - the socially constructed relationship between men and women - needs to be ce…

Unplanned antiretroviral treatment interruptions in southern Africa
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is essential for maximising individual treatment outcomes and preventing the development of drug resistance. It is, however, frequently compromised due to predictable, but adverse, scenarios in the countries most severely affected by HIV/AIDS. This paper looks at lessons from three specific crises in southern Africa: the 2008 floods in Mozambique, the ongoing political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe, and the 2…
Understandings of gender and HIV in the South African media
It is widely agreed empowering women to take control of their lives and sexual health is a key strategy for tackling gender inequalities and HIV/AIDS, but to date this has been exceedingly difficult to achieve. This paper explores how a sample of South African media represent the relationship between gender and HIV/AIDS in the interests of understanding the symbolic context in which HIV/AIDS programmers conduct their work. The starting assumption…
Mismatches between youth aspirations and participatory HIV/Aidsprogrammes in South Africa
Although youth participation is a pillar of international HIV/AIDS policy, it is notoriously difficult to facilitate. We explore this challenge through a case study of a community-led HIV/AIDS management project in a South African rural area, in which anticipated youth participation failed to materialise. We take a social psychological view, examining ways in which opportunities offered by the project failed to resonate with the social identities…

The inclusion of women, girls and gender equality in National Strategic Plans for HIV and Aids in southern and eastern Africa
The global HIV and AIDS epidemics disproportionately affect women, particularly young women in southern and eastern Africa. UNAIDS, amongst other actors, has singled out National Strategic Plans for HIV and AIDS (NSPs) as a critical platform for ensuring that women and girls are meaningfully included in national HIV and AIDS responses. Despite this, there is little evidence as to how or whether NSPs integrate responses to women and girls. Using a…

‘Men value their dignity’
BACKGROUND: Urban informal settlements remain sites of high HIV incidence and prevalence, as well as violence. Increasing attention is paid on how configurations of young men's masculinities shape these practices through exploring how men build respect and identity. In this paper, we explore how young Black South Africans in two urban informal settlements construct respect and a masculine identity. METHODS: Data are drawn from three focus groups …
Jobs, food, taxis and journals
This paper seeks to refocus debates on structural interventions away from 'assessing' their effectiveness towards understanding processes around how such interventions are implemented. Implementation Science is focused on understanding potential challenges of translating interventions from highly controlled conditions into 'real life' settings. Using the case study of Stepping Stones and Creating Futures a structural and behavioural intervention …
Developing and implementing global gender policy to reduce HIV and Aids in low- and middle -income countries
Gender inequalities have been recognised as central to the HIV epidemic for many years. In response, a range of gender policies have been developed in attempts to mitigate the impact and transform gender relations. However, the effects of these policies have been less than successful. In March 2010 the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) launched the Agenda for accelerated country level action on women, girls, gender equality and …
Stepping Stones and Creating Futures intervention
These findings are very positive for an exploratory study and indicate that the Creating Futures/Stepping Stones intervention has potential for impact in these difficult areas with young men and women. Further evaluation is needed
Social Contexts and Building Social Capital for Collective Action
Social capital is increasingly conceptualised in academic and policy literature as a panacea for a range of health and development issues, particularly in the context of HIV. In this paper, we conceptualise social capital as an umbrella concept capturing processes including networks, norms, trust and relationships that open up opportunities for participation and collective action that allow communities to address issues of common concern. We spec…
Can local communities 'sustain' HIV/Aids programmes? A South African example
Globally, there is a renewed interest in building the local sustainability of HIV/AIDS programmes to ensure that once funders withdraw, local communities can sustain programmes. While the 'local sustainability assumption' is widespread, little research has assessed this. In this article, we assess the sustainability of the Entabeni Project, a community-based intervention that sought to build women's local leadership and capacity to respond to HIV…
Gender Differences in Sources and Availability of Social Support Among South African Caregivers of Children
Research indicates that social support can have a protective effects on health, yet these effects may not be the same for men and women. Gender has been shown to predict the amount of social support available, the nature of social networks and effects of social support on health and quality of life. This analysis uses data from a mixed methods study, consisting of a quantitative survey (n = 2477) and in-depth qualitative interviews (n = 24), to e…
Interventions targeting sexual and reproductive health and rights outcomes of young people living with HIV
There have been a limited number of evaluated interventions to strengthen SRH of YPLWH in SSA, and gaps exist in addressing the SRHR needs of YPLWH. Intervention approaches require greater scope and depth, including the need to address structural and contextual challenges
Gender differences in South African men and women's access to and evaluation of informal sources of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information
While much research has documented unsatisfactory sexual and reproductive health (SRH) awareness among young people in South Africa, understanding of gender differences in access to and evaluation of SRH information is limited. This paper concerned itself with men and women's informal sources and content of SRH, and gendered divergences around accessibility, evaluation, and impact of such information. Fifty sexual history narrative interviews and…
Reconstructing masculinity? A qualitative evaluation of the Stepping Stones and Creating Futures interventions in urban informal settlements in South Africa
Evidence shows the importance of working with men to reduce intimate partner violence and HIV-risk. Two claims dominate this work. The first is that interventions 'reconstruct' masculinities--these new formations of masculinity exist in opposition to existing ones and are healthier for men and less harmful for women. The second is that to be successful, such interventions need to address men's exclusion from the economy. Using a qualitative longi…
