This study assessed domestic violence among women in Ogun State. Data were collected using structured interview guide. Purposively sampling technique was used to select 220 respondents in two zones of Ogun State Agricultural Development Programme. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Findings showed that the mean age of respondents was 48.73 years, while the mean household size was 6 persons. Also, 41% of the respondents were Christians. Few, (26.20%) of the respondents had primary education qualification while 30.80% were into farming. Only 43.60% of the respondents belonged to cooperative societies. 18% of the respondents experienced verbal abuse. Similarly, 49.23% of the respondents agreed that domineering attitude of men promote domestic violence. The most preferred coping strategies to ameliorate domestic violence was to remain silent (63.10%). Correlation analysis also showed significant relationship between women's livelihood activities and coping strategies such as fighting back (r= 0.95), pleasing and placating the perpetrator (r= 0.82), remaining silent (r= 0.89), avoiding the perpetrator (r =0.81) at p < 0.05. It was concluded that domestic violence limits women's potentials and hinders their full involvement in livelihood activities. Therefore, there is need for the patriarch structures that reinforce power imbalance between men and women to be dismantled. Furthermore, women should be empowered through training and access to social assets such as loans and credit.

Background: Women’s responses to partner violence are influenced by a complex constellation of factors including: psychological attachment to the partner; context of the abuse; and structural factors, all of which shape available options for women outside of the relationship. Objective: To describe women’s responses to physical partner violence; and to understand the role of women’s economic resources on their responses. Methods: Cross-sectional data from Dar es Salaam and Mbeya, Tanzania. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between women’s economic resources and their responses to violence. Results: In both sites, among physically abused women, over one-half experienced severe violence; approximately two-thirds had disclosed the violence; and approximately 40% had sought help. Abused women were more likely to have sought help from health services, the police and religious leaders in Dar es Salaam, and from local leaders in Mbeya. Economic resources did not facilitate women’s ability to leave violent partners in Dar es Salaam. In Mbeya, women who jointly owned capital assets were less likely to have left. In both sites, women’s sole ownership of capital assets facilitated help-seeking. Conclusion: Although support services are being scaled-up in Tanzania, efforts are needed to increase the acceptability of accessing such services.

This study examines the connection between intimate partner violence (IPV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus status among married and cohabitating women in Zimbabwe using an African feminist framework. Stata 13.0 was used to analyze data from the 2010-2011 Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey, which used a national probability sample of households in the country of Zimbabwe. This study used logistic regression to analyze the 2,830 ever-married or cohabitating women who also answered the violence and spousal traits questionnaire as well as provided blood samples. RésuméCette étude examine le lien entre la violence conjugale (VPI) et le statut VIH chez les femmes zimbabwéennes mariées et les femmes qui vivent maritalement en utilisant un cadre féministe africain. Stata 13.0 a été utilisé pour analyser les données de l'enquête démographique et de santé du Zimbabwe 2010-2011, qui a utilisé un échantillon aléatoire national de ménages dans le pays du Zimbabwe. Cette étude a utilisé la régression logistique pour analyser les 2 830 femmes déjà mariées ou qui vivent maritalement ont également répondu au questionnaire sur la violence et les traits conjugaux, ainsi que des échantillons de sang. La régression logistique a révélé que les femmes qui avaient subi de la violence (odds ratio = 1,29, IC [1,00, 1,67]) ou des fractures (odds ratio = 2,39, IC [1,19,4,77]) étaient plus susceptibles d'être séropositives; tandis que ceux avec des contusions (odds ratio = -.64 CI [.41, .99]) étaient moins susceptibles. Les femmes avec des partenaires qui sont des suiveurs (odds ratio = 1,28, IC [1,04, 1,59]) étaient plus susceptibles d'être séropositifs. La culture patriarcale et hypermasculiste, démontrée par la violence, contribue à la probabilité du VIH chez les femmes et les partenaires. Un changement culturel au plus haut niveau sera nécessaire pour prévenir le VPI et réduire la propagation du VIH. (Afr J Reprod Health 2017; 21[4]: 45-54).
