1.1.1 Background of the study
Over the past decade, recognition of the scope and significance of domestic violence globally has
increased. Domestic violence has been defined as "the range of sexually, psychologically and
physically coercive acts used against adult and adolescent women by current or former male
intimate partners" 1
• A growing body of evidence is highlighting the magnitude of the problem of
domestic violence in developing countries2
•
In sub-Saharan Africa, empirical evidence on the prevalence of domestic violence is limited and
confined to a small number ofpopulation-based3 or special-population studies4
•
Recognition of the links between domestic violence and a range of adverse reproductive health
outcomes including non-use of contraception and unintended pregnancy5
, poor outcomes of
pregnancy and birth6
, gynaecological morbidit/ and sexually transmitted diseases and human
immunodeficiency virus (HJV)8 is also growing.
