Cette étude souhaitait comprendre les caractéristiques de la violence contre les femmes tout en explorant les obstacles et les facteurs qui facilitent la demande de soins des femmes victimes de violences sexistes dans deux camps situés dans le complexe de réfugiés de Dadaab au Kenya. En dépit de l’existence de services de soutien, des obstacles persistent pour que les victimes en retirent tous les avantages. There is an urgent need to address drivers of GBV and the barriers to disclosure and access to services for all survivors of GBV.ĭans les contextes humanitaires, l’accès ponctuel aux soins est essentiel pour les victimes des violences sexistes. Women in the Dadaab refugee camps face violence from intimate partners, family, and other refugees. Barriers included stigma by family and the community, fear of further violence from perpetrators, feelings of helplessness and insecurity, and being denied entry to service provision premises by guards. Facilitators to accessing GBV services by survivors included awareness of GBV services and self-perceived high severity of acts of violence. From the survey, 60.3% and 66.7% of women had experienced non-partner violence or intimate partner violence in their lifetime respectively. A majority of women were Muslim, of Somali origin, had been residents in the camp for more than five years, with little or no formal education, and meagre or no monthly income. Survivor characteristics were descriptively analysed from baseline measures, and interview data thematically assessed. Women were recruited into a cohort study ( n = 209) and some purposively selected for qualitative in-depth interviews ( n = 34). A mixed-methods design was used to study women accessing comprehensive GBV services between February 2016 and February 2017. This study aimed to understand the characteristics of violence against women and explore barriers and facilitators to care-seeking for GBV by women in two camps within the Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya. Despite the existence of GBV support services, challenges still exist in maximising benefits for survivors. In humanitarian settings, timely access to care is essential for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV).
