TI  - Gender based violence and its effects on women's reproductive health: the case of 
      Hatcliffe, Harare, Zimbabwe.
PG  - 110-22
AB  - Gender based violence (GBV) negatively impacts on women's reproductive health 
      (R.H) and is contrary to human rights and RH statutory instruments. The study 
      triangulates quantitative and qualitative research methods with women in the 
      reproductive age group being the target group. The study noted that 95% of the 
      respondents experienced physical violence, 31% rape by a stranger, 92% spousal 
      rape and 65% forced marriages. Socio-cultural, religious, economic and policy 
      implementation factors underlie a culture of silence that prevails among the 
      victims of GBV. The study recommends economic empowerment of women and 
      information, education, counselling pertaining to the negative effects of GBV to 
      both males and females. There is need for education about grievance procedures 
      and scaling up of policy enforcement in order to curb the gruesome effects of 
      GBV.
