Abstract
The research on “gender based violence in families and under development in South
Sudan” was done in Juba. The research was guided by the objectives of the study. One
of the major objectives of the study was to find out the causes of domestic violence in
Juba and the study revealed that; mass media, youth gangs, poverty, cycle of abuse,
and male dominance. In addition to that, another objective of the researcher was to
find out the effects of gender-based violence and the most affected people and the
findings revealed that; child school dropout, poor involvement in socio-economic
activities, family breakdown, increase in government expenditure and mental health
problems were the major effects of gender-based violence in Juba. The researcher
further went ahead to find out the possible solutions to reduce gender- based violence
and the study revealed that; lifting of the marriage age, provision of employment to
married couples, provision of free counseling services, and sensitizing of the public on
the dangers of domestic violence were the major ways of reducing domestic violence in
Juba. Conclusions and recommendations were then made after analyzing and interpreting
data. The researcher concluded that gender-based violence is still affecting many
people especially women. The recommendations suggested by the researcher included;
