Latent class analysis reveals links between childhood abuse, substance use, and contraceptive use in Eritrean women, suggesting targeted violence prevention programs.
VAW was found to be a prevalent problem among Eritrean refugee women in Asayta refugee camp, Ethiopia. Despite wide variations in the magnitude of the problem, risk exposures seem similar across studies. Women's age, marital status, income level, history of childhood abuse, husband`s substance use and access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including contraceptive use-were strongly associated with VAW. Multi-level violence prevention programs are needed. These should focus on challenging harmful gender norms, preventing childhood abuse, empowering women economically and socially, and tailored community awareness about the link between substance use and VAW.
