Population Council Research that makes a difference

Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a pervasive global health problem rooted primarily in the context of women’s and girls’ subordinate status in society. The acts of violence are most commonly committed by men and are manifest as: (1) domestic and intimate partner violence; (2) sexual violence; and (3) harmful traditional practices, including female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) and child marriage. Among the many forms of violence against women and girls, sexual violence poses significant risks to their health, including physical injuries, psychological trauma, unwanted pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

Population Council focus

The Council addresses SGBV from several perspectives:

  • understanding the social, economic, political, and physical context of violence;
  • strengthening and integrating health and other services to provide a comprehensive response to the needs of survivors; and
  • supporting and evaluating efforts to prevent violence, including creating safe spaces and enhancing the protective aspects of education for adolescent girls, and working with men and boys and with community-level groups.

Population Council impact

  • The Council supports and coordinates a network of more than 20 partners in nine African countries that is dedicated to strengthening services for people who have experienced sexual and gender-based violence. Network members undertake research to develop, test, and evaluate service-delivery options for meeting the medical and legal needs of sexual violence survivors and provide south-to-south technical assistance to strengthen the nascent policies and programs in each country.
  • In South Africa, the Council collaborated with the Department of Health in Free State Province to convene the country’s first national symposium on child sexual assault.
  • Through technical assistance to the Hanoi Health Department in Vietnam, the Council is developing and introducing a tool to help health workers screen for domestic violence and to support survivors through providing or referring them for services. Between 2007 and 2009, 67,970 women visitors were screened for SGBV at Duc Giang, and provider knowledge of psychological violence as a punishable behavior increased by 22 percent between 2005 and 2009.
  • Adolescent girls’ safe spaces projects have effectively provided culturally acceptable and protective physical spaces as a platform for girls’ programming. The Ishraq ("Sunrise") program in Egypt began in 2001 in four communities to delay marriage by encouraging formal school attendance for 278 girls; today, the program has expanded to serve 1,800 out-of-school girls in 30 new rural communities in three new governorates. Similarly, in Ethiopia, over 17,000 out-of-school girls have benefited from Biruh Tesfa; the program is now being scaled up to 12 additional cities in Ethiopia, and mentors are creating groups for younger girls, aged 7–9.
  • Changing the social norms of men in the community also is critical. In Amhara, Ethiopia, the Addis Birhan ("New Light") project is successfully changing gender norms at the village level. Nearly 30,000 men have participated, and the project was recently expanded to 11 new project sites where 33 male mentors have been recruited and trained. Reports from both men and women have demonstrated reduced violence in the intervention sites.
