“…The above review of research on physical abuse of women in Uganda and Mawali highlights the urgent need for comprehensive interventions targeting the prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of violence. Efforts to effectively address this problem should focus on empowering women and increasing awareness of their rights and access to support (Chadambuka & Warria, 2022). Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine the prevalence and predictors of physical abuse against women in Uganda and Malawi.…”

The study examined the prevalence and predictors of physical abuse of women in Uganda and Malawi. The Demographic Health Survey in the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) database served as the data source. The respondents were 5402 women from Uganda and Malawi. The response variable was whether the woman had been physically harmed by her current husband or partner during pregnancy (DVPREGHUSB). We examined six predictor variables. Stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that four variables were important predictors of DVPREGHUSB: country, marital status, woman's education, and husband's education. Women in Uganda were more likely to be physically abused than women in Malawi. Those who were living together (unmarried), widowed, divorced, or separated were less likely to be physically abused than those who were married. A woman's level of education was not a significant predictor of the physical abuse of women in both Uganda and Malawi. Men with primary education were more likely to physically abuse their wives or partners than those without education. Programs aimed at helping physically abused women must consider the country of residence, marital status, and education of the husband or partner.

“…While these are intended to be helpful considerations, they can obscure YP's agency and responses. Last but not least, through an intersectionality lens, it is recognized that CEIPV may co-occur with other oppressive factors such as poverty, marginalization, discrimination, cultural violence, other types of violence, and human rights violations, complicating an already complex realm (Chadambuka & Warria, 2022). These multifaceted factors can affect how YP perceive and articulate their experiences, impacting their narratives and responses.…”

Objectives: Childhood experiences of intimate partner violence (CEIPV) remain a significant public health issue affecting millions of young people (YP) globally. Although CEIPV has been researched for decades, YP’s voices are often left unheard, their stories relegated to mere research data. Their CEIPV are usually told through adult proxy accounts rather than by YP themselves. Additionally, research shows that YP have limited opportunities to influence domestic violence policies and practices. This theoretical paper proposes a new YP engagement model for CEIPV research and practice. Methods: The model is based on a review of relevant literature, including lessons from the women’s shelter movement, child rights, narrative practice, trauma and violence-informed approaches, and selected case studies. Results: The Narrative Shelter Model integrates storytelling and storylistening to create a safe space for YP with CEIPV to exercise their voice and choice, and share their stories in a non-retraumatizing way. Moreover, the model invites the storylistener(s) to connect with YP’s stories to influence decision-making. Conclusion: The Narrative Shelter Model elicits a path towards creating safe and inclusive spaces for YP with CEIPV to share their stories and be heard as agents of social change. It aims not only to promote their voices but also to empower them to become young advocates and peer supporters in responding to IPV, thereby strengthening their resilience and recovery. The use of this model within domestic violence agencies can continue to position YP as experts in their own lives and pivotal agents in shaping knowledge and effective interventions.
