Among many forms of violence against women and girls, sexual violence poses significant risks to health, including physical injuries, psychological trauma, unwanted pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is not only a rights abuse but a public health concern in every country. The greatest risk of such violence is from men women and girls know—often husbands or male family members—yet addressing domestic violence remains a relatively ignored and obscured issue in most developing countries.
Population Council focus
The Council addresses SGBV by understanding its causes and consequences, then strengthening health and other services that respond to survivors, as well as supporting and evaluating preventive efforts.
Population Council impact
- The Council supports and coordinates a network of more than 20 partners strengthening SGBV services in nine African countries. Research by members of the network develops, tests, and evaluates medical and legal service delivery and provides regional technical assistance in strengthening nascent policies and programs in each country.
- In South Africa, the Council collaborated with the Free State Province Department of Health to convene the country’s first national symposium on child sexual assault.
- Council technical assistance to Vietnam’s Hanoi Health Department is helping develop and introduce a tool to aid health workers in screening for domestic violence and supporting survivors with service provision or referral.
- In India, the Council adapted Promundo’s “Program H,” successfully developed in Brazil, to reduce partner violence by young men; after the intervention participants reported less support for inequitable gender norms, and self-reported violence against partners declined in the intervention sites.

What's New
- The Interagency Gender Working Group has published a new synthesis of evidence of the effect of equitable gender initiatives on reproductive health outcomes. All three of the Population Council’s research programs are featured in this volume entitled Gender Perspectives Improve Reproductive Health Outcomes: New Evidence. "We are proud of the Council's contribution to this and other evidence bases linked to improved reproductive health results," says John Townsend, director of the Council's Reproductive Health program. (offsite link)
- BMJ has announced the nominees for its prestigious annual award for "Getting Research into Practice." The Sexual Health and HIV Evidence into Practice (SHHEP) group—to which ABBA, a Population Council–led consortium, belongs—was nominated for successfully "advocating research findings to change the law in Ghana so that survivors of gender based and sexual violence are no longer forced to pay for their own medical tests to prove assault in court." Read more about this on page 6 of the linked PDF. (offsite link)
