“…Using data from the 2005 World Health Organization (WHO) study, McIlwaine showed that although intimate partner violence (IPV) rates were higher in rural areas than in urban ones, rates of NPV were higher in cities, and suggested that although violence is likely to occur in schools and bars wherever they are located, these spaces are more densely situated in cities and harder for women to avoid (McIlwaine, 2013; WHO, 2005a). In Kenya (KEN), girls in urban slums were more likely to have experienced violence than girls in rural areas (Austrian et al, 2015), whereas in South Africa, girls in urban environments were more likely to identify public spaces as unsafe than were their rural peers (Hallman, Kenworthy, Diers, Swan, & Devnarian, 2015). Urban spaces do not create VAW, but they can exacerbate it.…”

This multicountry study used Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data from 138,097 women to explore the relationship between non-partner violence (NPV) and sanitation, water, and urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). One out of 15 women reports having experienced physical and/or sexual violence by a non-partner during the previous 12 months; within the region, prevalence ranges from 2.3-11.3%. Explanatory models of NPV improve in 11 of the 20 countries when the built environment variables are included. The results suggest that sanitation and water access are associated with risk of NPV in a number of countries in the region, particularly in urban settings.

“…More recently, privatepublic partnerships have furthered these efforts by designing targeted supports to diverse groups of women. These include initiatives targeting youth such as the Adolescent Girls Initiative (Austrian et al, 2015), those geared toward women in agriculture such as the Feed the Future Initiative (United States Agency for international Development [USAID], 2015), and those targeting women living with chronic illness including HIV (Kenya Network of Women with AIDS [KENWA], n.d.; Living Positive Kenya, n.d.). In addition to providing economic supports, some of these offer in tandem health, mental health, and legal supports.…”

The misalignment between economic strengthening opportunities and women’s agency is especially salient given the connection between women’s economic empowerment and household well-being. Using Kenya Demographic Health Survey 2014 data, we examine married women’s agency in household economic decision making. Women who are less likely to characterize abusive patterns of behavior as problematic and women reporting emotional abuse are less likely to report economic autonomy in the household. Furthermore, data indicate little congruence in perceptions of wife’s household economic autonomy between couples. These findings point to the need to understand the interplay among structural factors, gender, marital status, and the financial well-being of married persons.
