Health sector response to gender-based violence: case studies of the Asia Pacific region

Authors: Ibrahim,S.; Daluwatte,S.; Bernado,D.
Produced by: United Nations Population Fund (2010)


This report brings together seven case studies on gender-based violence (GBV) in seven Asian/Pacific countries, and reviews the specific healthcare delivered to its victims there.


In Bangladesh, GBV is common and   prevalent across regions and classes. Many policies in Bangladeshi health sector have addressed GBV together with other unrelated issues. Thus, a more focused approach is recommended in drafting policies in order to effectively address   GBV in the healthcare system.
In Malaysia, GBV is believed to be largely under-reported, and national prevalence data on violence against women (VAW) is unavailable. The government is recommended to conduct public   awareness campaigns against GBV, and develop a comprehensive database for GBV cases across agencies.
While the prevalence of GBV is lower in Maldives than in most of the other countries in the region, the physical,   sexual and mental health consequences of abuse of women and girls makes it a major public health concern. A multi-sectoral referral system for GBV is essential in providing comprehensive care to women and children receiving care at   Family Protection Units.
The rates of VAW in Papua New Guinea are thought to be some of the highest in the world. Having infrastructure for the care and treatment of GBV cases is the most effective approach to   managing the issue.
The prevalence of GBV in the Philippines is difficult to estimate, and official statistics show a very limited number of reported cases per year.
In Sri Lanka, the most common   form of GBV is domestic violence, so an evidence-based advocacy strategy should be established.
A number of factors contribute to the issue of GBV in Timor-Leste, including high rates of poverty, large   families, and a history of violence at a society level. Consequently, it is important for the government to take more ownership of the health sector response to GBV.

Dear All,

 

Here is a video shared by Dr Suresh Sundar. The message in the video is that it's time to think EQUAL for women and girls. What does equal mean to you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaCwOdNeA7k&feature=share

Thanks Dr Suresh!

 

Warm regards,

Rituu

The document speaks through out on women and girls, men and boys in the context of access to health care and other services equitably.  While on one end the document speaks of a life cycle approach, the document largely speaks about children and youth in the context of PMTCT and 15 to 24 years within the life cycle.
