Uganda - Gender Based Violence Survey, 2009

Hello, my name is _____________________________ and I am working with Uganda Bureau of Statistics. In collaboration with MGSLD, We are conducting a national survey about Gender Based Violence (GBV) in our communities here in Uganda. GBV has now become a problem/issue of great concern, with much negative impact on development at individual, family, community and state levels, aggravated HIV/AIDS &STD, increase in unwanted pregnancies, trauma, increase on GBV in conflict areas, and Coordination constraints at national, district and grass-root levels

As a member of the community / one of the victims of GBV you have every reason to want to remove this scourge from the society with a view of eliminating all existing forms of GBV completely. Therefore, your assistance is kindly requested in making this research on GBV, successful.

The study is expected to shed light on the GBV forms, incidence, their pervasiveness, prevalence, and magnitude in Uganda in both the conflict and non-conflict areas. The findings (data) from this situation analysis will provide benchmarks and indicators for systematic and effective GBV interventions to be reflected in development frameworks, policies and programs in Uganda.

As part of the survey we would first like to ask some questions about your household. All of the answers you give will be confidential. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary. If we should come to any question you do not want to answer, just let me know and I will go on to the next question; or you can stop the interview at any time. However, we very much appreciate your participation in this survey since your views are important. The interview takes approximately between 30 and 45 minutes to complete.

At this time, do you have any questions about the survey?



May I begin the interview now?
