“…As reporting rates might vary in relation to risk factors, it can be a source of bias. A major determinant of GBV reporting in surveys is the quality of training of the fieldworkers [142]. A study in Lesotho showed that other contexts were also important: women living in GBV awareness project areas, presumably reflecting increased awareness, were more likely to report a history of sexual violence [143].…”

Gender-based violence (GBV) is common in southern Africa. Here we use GBV to include sexual and non-sexual physical violence, emotional abuse, and forms of child sexual abuse. A sizeable literature now links GBV and HIV infection.Sexual violence can lead to HIV infection directly, as trauma increases the risk of transmission. More importantly, GBV increases HIV risk indirectly. Victims of childhood sexual abuse are more likely to be HIV positive, and to have high risk behaviours.GBV perpetrators are at risk of HIV infection, as their victims have often been victimised before and have a high risk of infection. Including perpetrators and victims, perhaps one third of the southern African population is involved in the GBV-HIV dynamic.A randomised controlled trial of income enhancement and gender training reduced GBV and HIV risk behaviours, and a trial of a learning programme reported a non-significant reduction in HIV incidence and reduction of male risk behaviours (primary prevention). Interventions among survivors of GBV can reduce their HIV risk (secondary prevention). Various strategies can reduce spread of HIV from infected GBV survivors (tertiary prevention). Dealing with GBV could have an important effect on the HIV epidemic.A policy shift is necessary. HIV prevention policy should recognise the direct and indirect implications of GBV for HIV prevention, the importance of perpetrator dynamics, and that reduction of GBV should be part of HIV prevention programmes. Effective interventions are likely to include a structural component, and a GBV awareness component.

“…Estos autores explican que, a medida que una sociedad se desarrolla económicamente y las mujeres adquieren los derechos políticos y sociales, y acceden al trabajo y la educación, existe una mayor posibilidad de escapar de la situación de violencia. Existe una relación entre la pobreza y la violencia familiar, así como entre el nivel educativo y socio-económico bajo y la violencia conyugal (Andersson, Cockcroft., Ansari, Omer, Chaudhry, Khan y Pearson, 2009;Echeburúa, Amor y De Corral, 2002;Tokuç et al, 2010). Otros estudios han encontrado que en los paí-ses en vías de desarrollo, los niveles de violencia contra mujeres embarazadas son mayores que en las sociedades más desarrolladas (Campbell, García-Moreno y Sharps, 2004;Kaya y Cook, 2010;Nasir y Hyder, 2003;Tokuç et al, 2010).…”

Factores de riesgo asociados a la violencia sufrida por la mujer en la pareja: una revisión de meta-análisis y estudios recientes Alicia Puente-Martínez 1* , Silvia Ubillos-Landa 2 , Enrique Echeburúa 1 y Darío Páez-Rovira 1 Universidad del País Vasco UPV-EHU (España). 2 Universidad de Burgos UBU (España).Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una revisión bibliográfica actual y complementaria de los últimos estudios y meta-análisis sobre factores de riesgo de la violencia de género. Este trabajo confirma que en el nivel socio-comunitario el bajo nivel educativo, el bajo desarrollo económico del país, pocos derechos sociales, la falta de democratización del Estado, la cultura del honor y las culturas masculinas -con actitudes sexistas y favorables hacia la violencia en el país-son factores de riesgo. En el nivel contextual e individual, tener bajos ingresos, tener menor edad, más hijos, la violencia recíproca hacia la pareja, la depresión, el miedo y el consumo de alcohol, se asocian a mayor riesgo de ser víctima de violencia por parte de la pareja ín-tima. Con menor consistencia, son factores de riesgo, las situaciones de guerra, el fundamentalismo religioso, la mayor duración de la relación y una menor satisfacción con la pareja, así como emociones como la culpa, vergüenza y otros factores como el embarazo. Palabras clave: Violencia de género; victima; agresor; factor de riesgo.Title: Risk factors associated with the violence against women in couples: a review of meta-analyzes and recent studies. Abstract: The aim of this study was to conduct a complementary to current and recent meta-analysis of risk factors to intimate partner violence literature review. This work confirms that on community-level, low economic development and democracy, lack of social rights, culture of honor and masculine culture -characterized by sexist attitudes and tolerance to violence-are risk factors. On contextual and individual level, being younger, having a low income and low education level, having more than one child, using violence reciprocally against ones partner, depression, fear and alcohol consumption are associated with increased risk of being a victim of intimate violence. Less consistency, are risk factors, situations of war, religious fundamentalism, being in a long term relationship, lower relationship satisfaction, emotions such as guilt, shame and other factors such as pregnancy.

“…The Aurat Foundation (2012) also reports that relatives such as husband, brother, cousin, father, uncle, father and mother-in-law, brother-in-law, son or step son remain the most common perpetrators of VAW. Though such evidence is important and provides an insight in to the extent of VAW in Pakistan, empirical evidence about IPV in Pakistan is scarce (Andersson, Cockcroft, Ansari, Omer, Chaudhry et al, 2009). No attempt has so far been made to aggregate and systematically review the evidence related to IPV in Pakistan.…”

“…For example, various Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) such as the Human Rights Commission for Pakistan provide some evidence of VAW, typically obtained from the press and official bodies such as the police (Andersson, Cockcroft, Ansari, Omer, Chaudhry et al, 2009). According to the figures provided by Aurat Foundation (2013), during 2012 a total of 7516 cases of VAW across the country were reported.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major social and public health problem affecting people in various cultures and societies. Though the issue of IPV in Pakistan has been researched since the 1990s, no attempt has been made systematically to review the available evidence on IPV in Pakistan.This article presents findings of a systematic review of available empirical literature related to IPV in Pakistan. Using various key words, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched to identify relevant studies. This resulted in the identification of 55 potential studies for inclusion.After application of exclusion criteria 23 studies were identified, 20 of which used quantitative research designs, two used qualitative designs and one adopted a mixed method case study approach. All studies reported men as the perpetrators of IPV and women as its victims. Findings are presented and discussed for IPV for its forms, predictors, effects and victims' responses.Pakistani peoples' perceived reasons for and their attitudes towards IPV are also presented and discussed.
