However, a study carried out in the capital of Espírito Santo by Leite et al . demonstrated a higher prevalence of physical partner violence experienced by women with a similar social profile as the mothers in the present study.…”

Objective: To describe the repercussions, from the perspectives of caregiver mothers, of confirmed congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) in their offspring. Methods:A descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach was carried out in the state of Espírito Santo in southeastern Brazil, with 25 women who had a child diagnosed with CZS.Results: Emerging themes from the content analysis were grouped into two categories:(1) inequalities experienced by mothers, including social inequality, poverty, and gender inequality; (2) the impact of a child with CZS on mothering, including feelings at the time of diagnosis, maternal isolation and mental health, experiences of stigma and prejudice, and exhausting itineraries searching for therapeutic care. Conclusion:The repercussions of CZS were a huge burden on already vulnerable women, and social inequalities and poverty were important markers in the mothers' reports.Many of the families affected by CZS already lived in precarious social conditions and these conditions were exacerbated further. Robust public and social policies to support these mothers need effective implementation given that babies born with CZS need long-term care and support.

“…Besides, low or no literacy of women have been found by prior studies to be a predictor of violence while higher education, at least secondary school education have been found to be protective of violence(19,31,33,34). This is similar to what was found in this study - lower education of respondents and their partners seemed to increase the risk of violence across the three countries, suggesting that investing in education, especially women’s education may reduce the incidence of violence in sub-Saharan Africa.…”

12Background: Domestic violence remains a public health challenge worldwide. Studies in the sub-13 Saharan Africa have shown high level of violence against women, especially from intimate 14 partners. What is not known is how soon domestic violence happens after marriage among ever-15 married women. This study assessed the timing of first domestic violence among ever-married 16 women and identified its determinants in Nigeria, Kenya, and Mozambique. 17 Data and Method: Data of 56440 ever-married women of reproductive age pooled from DHS 18 conducted in Nigeria (2013), Kenya (2014) and Mozambique (2011) was used. The timing of first 19 domestic violence was estimated as the period between marriage and the first experience of 20 domestic violence. Ever-married women without violence experience were censored on the date 21 of the survey. Survival analysis techniques were used to assess the timing and the factors 22 influencing the timing p=0.05. 23Result: The prevalence of domestic violence in Nigeria, Kenya and Mozambique was 12.1%, 24 7.5%, and 15.4% respectively. The median time to first domestic violence across the three 25 countries was 3 years. We found a higher prevalence of violence among formerly married women 26 than currently married women. Women who married before age 20 years have a significantly 27 higher risk of experiencing violence (Nigeria: aHR= 2.36 (95% CI (1.97-2.83), Kenya: aHR= 1.89 28 (95% CI (1.31-2.73) and Mozambique: aHR=1.60 (95% CI (1.24 -2.12)) than older women. 29Women in poorer wealth quintile were at higher risk of violence across the three countries. Other 30 factors associated with the timing of first domestic violence are respondents', location of residence 31 and educational attainment. 3 32 Conclusion: Domestic violence has remained high in Mozambique, Nigeria and Kenya. There 33 was a significant relationship between timing of first domestic violence and whether or not a 34 woman remains in a marriage. Education and delayed marriage could help reduce violence in 35 marriage. 36 BACKGROUND 38 Violence is a fundamental human right issue and has constituted global social, clinical health as 39 well as public health challenges(1-4). Literature is replete that violence against women, especially 40 women and girls has remained high despite several interventions to halt it(5,6). Depending on the 41 presence or absence of a relationship between a victim and a perpetrator of a violence, violence 42can be grouped as self-directed, interpersonal and collective violence. Domestic violence is one of 43 the interpersonal violence and has unacceptably thrived across various regions of the world. 44Domestic violence, also referred to as spousal or intimate partner violence, is a subtle type of 45 violence occurring between partners in union (legal or not) and within the family context. 46Domestic violence happens both in cohabitation and marriage. Nevertheless, occurrence may not 47 be restricted to the confines of the home(3). Domestic violence is not peculiar to only 48 hetero...

RESUMO: Objetivo: Verificar associação entre a história de violência contra a mulher e características sociodemográficas e comportamentais do parceiro íntimo. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 938 mulheres usuárias da atenção básica de saúde, com idade entre 20 e 59 anos e que no momento da entrevista possuíam parceiro íntimo. Foram coletadas informações sobre as características sociodemográficas e comportamentais, do parceiro íntimo, bem como foi aplicado o instrumento World Health Organization Violence Against Woman (WHO VAW Study) para o rastreamento da violência psicológica, física e sexual vivenciada no último ano. Foi realizada análise bivariada, por meio do teste do c2 de Pearson, e multivariada usando regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. Resultados: As maiores prevalências de violência psicológica, física e sexual estiveram significativamente associadas aos parceiros que não possuíam ocupação e que recusaram o uso do preservativo nas relações sexuais. Homens que foram considerados controladores e que ingeriam bebida alcoólica estiveram associados a maior perpetração de violência psicológica e física (p < 0,05). Parceiros com até 8 anos de escolaridade apresentam maior frequência de prática de violência psicológica (RP = 1,32; IC95% 1,05 - 1,66), enquanto a violência sexual foi significativamente maior entre as mulheres cujos parceiros fumavam (RP = 1,94; IC95% 1,11 - 3,38). Conclusões: Esses dados evidenciam a importância de os profissionais de saúde atuarem juntamente a outros setores, tais como educação e segurança, no enfrentamento ao álcool e outras drogas, bem como na abordagem das questões de gênero.
