Spatial Analysis of Gender-Based Violence in Antananarivo’s 3rd District in Madagascar.

This study proposes an integrated analysis of gender-based violence (GBV) in urban settings, emphasizing the influence of geographical and socio-economic determinants on the spatial distribution of violence. The objectives are to produce a detailed map of high-risk areas, analyze family and social dynamics, and study the impact of economic conditions on vulnerability to GBV. The methodological approach combines the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial visualization with qualitative methods (interviews and focus groups) to deepen the understanding of local contexts. The expected results will help identify violence “hotspots” and develop prevention strategies adapted to territorial specificities. By integrating urban geography and social sciences, this research aims to contribute significantly to combating GBV and improving the safety of vulnerable populations.
