“…The effect size of dropout was factored from other similar studies to account for a large conservative and representative sample size to measure outcomes. Based on other local studies, we hypothesize a reduction in drop-out rate from 17.8% as reported by Branson, Hofmeyr 18 to less than 14% (estimated effect size of 20%), with an anticipated attrition rate of 5% per year based on a similar local study 19 . This resulted in a conservative sample size of 2730 adolescent girls and 1850 boys to determine the association between intervention and control school's dropout rate and GBV variables across 26 schools.…”

“…Gender empowerment therefore has significant and measurable impact upon public health and is an effective and needed area of intervention. In South Africa (SA), the need for such intervention is strengthened further, particularly in the context of patriarchal gender norms 19 placing females at risk because of the imbalance of power 15,20 , high rates of gender-based violence (GBV) and high rates of HIV among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) 4,[21][22][23][24] . An estimated 40% of South African women have experienced intimate partner violence and 12-28% have been raped [25][26][27] .…”

Background: Empowerment is when a person gains mastery of their life and environment. This paper describes three central elements of empowerment (agency, resources, and institutional structures) expressed by adolescents, discussing implications for strengthening adolescent sexual reproductive health, HIV, and violence prevention programming. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted (April 2017 – May 2018) as part of the GAP Year trial among grade eight learners (12 – 18 years) from 26 lowest quintile public high schools in Khayelitsha, Soweto and Thembisa townships, South Africa. Data were on empowerment experiences using a knowledge, attitudes, and practices survey. Descriptive and chi-square test statistics were employed, assessing the association between sociodemographic and domains of empowerment. Results: A total of 2383 adolescents in 26 schools completed the baseline survey: 63.1% female, mean age 13.7 years, 96.9% Black African. Agency: Males (4.04 vs 3.94, p=0.008) and those 15 – 18 years (4.10 vs 3.95, p=0.027) expressed stronger decision-making capacity. Females (3.18 vs 2.92, p<0.001) indicated a greater sense of collective action. Females (0.77 vs 0.72, p=0.008), those aged 12 -14 years (0.76 vs 0.71, p=0.027) and those with at least one parent/guardian employed (p=0.014) had stronger leadership confidence. Resources: Those 12-14 years expressed higher self-esteem (2.18 vs 2.08, p=0.017). Males (2.24 vs 1.87, p<0.001) and those who had at least one parent/guardian employed (p=0.047) had a higher perception of freedom from gender-based violence. Males showed greater mobility (2.89 vs 2.66, p=<0.001). Institutional structures: Coloured participants showed more positive norms than their Black counterparts (5.38 vs 2.12, p=0.005). Conclusions: Males expressed greater empowerment around decision-making, gender-based violence and mobility; females expressed greater collective action and leadership. Working across the ecological model, interventions addressing sex differences, targeting adolescents of all ages, and parental unemployment may strengthen expressions of empowerment, especially adolescents’ safety, mobility, aspirations, and future hopes.

“…Throughout much of the Old Testament, women were always in the pipeline of being abused during crisis (Ademiluka 2018;Gravett 2004;Kroeger & Beck 2019;Lapsley 2005). Some of these women include Dinah (Gn 34), Hagar and Tamar (Gn 38:1-30).…”

Beyond the rhetoric of Genesis 34:1–28: Understanding the rape epidemic during the COVID-19 pandemic

This article explored the rape of Dinah in Genesis 34:1–28 and its implications to the escalating rape cases during the period of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Nigeria. By examining the rape in the pericope and other key passages in the Old Testament, this article argues that it points towards care and justice for victims of rape, and prosecution of rapists. These social ethics are analysed in relation to the contemporary rape epidemic during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. Like the rape in Genesis, rape victims in Nigeria have little or no access to getting justice and counselling from society, non-government organisations and faith-based organisations, against their aggressors (the rapists). These problems highlight the relevance of this biblical narrative for the policyholders, the government and churches in Nigeria.Intra/interdisciplinary implications: This research is based on the impact of rape on the victim and the aggressor in Genesis 34:1–28. Similar to what is obtainable amongst Nigerians during the COVID-19 pandemic, Genesis 34:1–28 reveals that rape has far reaching implications on the victim and the aggressor. It leads to low self-esteem, hate, suicide as well as the death of the aggressor or victim. Disciplines implicated include Old Testament, Religion, Cultural Studies and Sociology.

“…The framing of the preaching of men as perpetrators of sexual crimes and legal indecisiveness towards rape perpetrators indicates that Indonesia is still thick with patriachy culture of supremacy. 5 Today, rape crimes do not only occur between men and women, but can occur within the homosexual sphere. For example, we can see the news about Indonesian citizens who are perpetrators of rape in the UK.…”

Sexual violence is an unwanted sexual behavior, such as a request to have sexual intercourse and other sexual behaviors by verbal and physical violence. The problem in this study is how is the legal regulation of rape and sexual assault in Indonesia? and How is the implementation of active national principles for rape and sexual assault crimes that occur abroad? The research method used in this research is normative research method, by examining legal problems using existing literature materials. This study will analyze the legal arrangements for perpetrators of rape and sexual assault crimes to the implementation of the principle of nationality for perpetrators of rape and sexual assaultcrimes that occur abroad. The conclusion in this study is that there needs to be an expansion in the Draft KUHP in regulating criminal acts of immorality, especially rapes committed similarly, both carried out by men and women and the application of the principle of personality both active and passive can be given by the state if the crime is related to the interests of the state, and the existence of bilateral agreements between the two countries so that legal diplomacy can run smoothly until it gets the best way out.
