Mitiku, K., Shiwasinad, S., & Shiferaw, S. (2025). Investigating Gender-based violence against internally displaced women in Debre Berhan, Central Ethiopia: A mixed-methods study using the socio-ecological framework. PLoS One, 20(8), e0329840.
Abstract
Gender-based violence (GBV) is a major health problem affecting displaced populations disproportionately. However, limited research existed on the prevalence, barriers, and facilitators for survivors seeking care. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of GBV and investigate the barriers and facilitators influencing survivors’ access to care.
