Gender based Violence services are not typically linked with each other by programs, or if such service linkage does exist, it tends to be poorly developed, because very little is known about the relationships of gender based violence and psychological well-being of women, this comparative study was designed to examine the lifetime prevalence, types, cause and effects of gender based violence. When compared with I 00 fan1ilies in Kigulu No1ih, Iganga district, about 20 families reported greater prevalence of physical, sexual, and psychological aggression (violence) directed al the mother of their youngest biological child over the course of the relationship as most common types of gender based violence.

Very few men reported to have been experiencing physical and sexual violence by the women. The results highlight the need for measures to end the risk of gender based violence. | en_US |
