The burden and determinants of intimate partner violence against reproductive-age women in four East African countries: evidence from 2021/2023 DHS dataset
IPV remains alarmingly high in East Africa, driven by gender norms, economic vulnerabilities, and weak institutional support. Addressing IPV requires strengthening legal enforcement, expanding economic empowerment initiatives, and promoting gender-sensitive education. Tailored interventions should prioritize rural areas, address alcohol-related IPV, and challenge societal attitudes that normalize violence.
