Abstract:
This article presents the results of a qualitative study on the context and different forms of violence committed against women and girls. The study documents many forms of sexual and physical violence against women and girls, including conflict-related sexual violence, intimate partner violence, nonpartner sexual violence, child and forced marriage, and abduction. Violence occurred during three overarching contexts: armed conflict, gender inequality, and the economic crisis. The custom of bride price, combined with the economic crisis, is a key driver of many other forms of violence.
