Conducted in urban Kampala, this study examines the complex contexts within which women make decisions about reporting domestic violence. Based on an intersecting theoretical lens of structural violence, power, and the body, findings suggested that women reported to formal structures primarily for severe physical or economic abuse; women did not report less severe abuse, and often abandoned reporting even severe abuse. Yet, while overwhelmingly women were discouraged from reporting domestic abuse, there were important signs of change.

The study shows that despite governments’ and partners’ swift responses to school closures, remote learning strategies in most countries failed to account for gender-based considerations and barriers that children face at home.

Recent experiences from global outbreaks have highlighted the severe disruptions in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services that expose women and girls to preventable health risks. This review found that in outbreak situations, SRH and pregnancy outcomes were improved by implementing laboratory surveillance, free-of-cost contraceptive services, improved screening through professional training, and quality of care.

This study explores emerging opportunities for social transformation in the context of sedimented layers of male privilege and the questioning of restrictive gender norms in two Iraqi governorates.
