The Gender-Based Violence Task Force of the Inter-agency Gender Working Group is pleased to present a brown bag with Sunita Kishor, Director of MEASURE DHS, who will speak on the newly released report, co–authored by Dr. Kishor and Sarah Bradley, “Women’s and Men’s Experience of Spousal Violence in Two African Countries: Does Gender Matter?”

 

Dr. Kishor will discuss the paper’s findings on frequency, severity, and health consequences of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), comparing married men and married women, using DHS data from Ghana and Uganda. Don’t miss what is sure to be a fascinating discussion in the ongoing debate on whether there is “gender symmetry” in IPV.
