Background: We were interested in finding out if the very low antenatal VCT acceptance rate reported in Mbale Hospital was linked to intimate partner violence against women. We therefore set out to i) determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence, ii) identify risk factors for intimate partner violence and iii) look for association between intimate partner violence and HIV prevention particularly in the context of the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV programme (PMTCT).

Background: Domestic violence is seen in all communities. Objectives: To determine the risk factors that facilitate emergence of domestic violence. Methods: A qualitative study where in-depth interviews were used. A total of 30 women who stated they had been experiencing violence from their partner for at least a year made up the study sample. The common opinions in the interviews were grouped and coded according to the themes created for "descriptive analysis". Excerpts from the statements that best emphasized/defined the women's opinions and experiences were used in the study report. Results:The factors stated by the women as facilitating the emergence of domestic violence in our study were: the man being older, the woman being in a marriage that she did not want, was forced into, or that her family did not want, a lack of support by the woman's family, the man's family not wanting the woman, the man seeing violence as a societal right, and a lack of mutual love, respect, or trust in the marriage/relationship. Conclusions: To decrease the emergence of domestic violence in the Turkish family system where traditional female-male roles are present: the woman and man within the marriage/relationship should have similar sociodemographic attributes (age, education, employment), the decision for marriage/relationship should be with the woman's own free will, educational and awareness increasing programs to ensure societal change should be arranged, and the quality and quantity of social institutions should be brought to a level where the support systems for women can be strengthened.

“…Available data suggest that in some countries nearly one in four women report sexual violence by an intimate partner, and up to one-third of adolescent girls report forced sexual initiation (61,62,(127)(128)(129). For instance, 23% of women in North London, England, reported having been the victim of either an attempted or a completed rape by a partner during their lifetime (62).…”

Research outh violence (for example, carrying a weapon or attacking someone with intent to harm) is one of the most important social and public health problems worldwide. 1-3 The costs of youth violence stem from harm caused to victims, as well as policing and criminal justice responses and community perceptions of reduced safety. 3,4 Violence was listed in the top three issues concerning young Australians in 2010. 5 Eight per cent of Victorian students in Years 7 and 9 engaged in violent behaviour in 2002, with higher rates among boys than girls. 6 In addition, rates of youth violence are higher in disadvantaged communities 7 and in regional communities with unstable populations and economic structures as well as high unemployment, 8 and lower among youths from immigrant families. 9 There have been reports of increases in violent offences perpetrated by youth in Australia 10 and media reports suggest more youth are violent. 11,12 National population-based surveys could measure whether rates of selfreported violence among youth have changed over time, but Australia does not have such surveys. In this article, we analyse data from Victorian surveys of secondary school students in 1999 and 2009 to examine whether rates of carrying a weapon and attacking someone with intent to harm have increased, after adjusting for sample demographic characteristics.
