Gender-based violence (GBV) is a major global public health issue due to its short- and long-term adverse effects on women's health. Little is known about the factors associated with physical and emotional violence among female school students in Ethiopia. We determined the magnitude and risk factors of emotional violence, physical violence, sexual violence, and any form of GBV among 1,199 female school students in eastern Ethiopia using the facilitated self-administered questionnaires. The prevalence of any form of GBV in the past 12 months was 53.04% (95% CI: 50.22-55.87). Around 52% (95% CI: 47.61-55.54) of respondents indicated they had experienced all three forms of GBV. The prevalence of emotional violence in the past 12 months was 43.04% (95% CI: 40.22-45.84), physical violence was 43.79% (95% CI: 40.94-46.59), and sexual violence was 31.44% (95% CI: 28.81-34.07). Having a boyfriend, being married, not receiving enough pocket money from family, witnessing violence as a child, using alcohol, being sexually active, and discussing reproductive health with family increased the risk of any form of GBV in the past 12 months. This suggests that early intervention and support to mitigate the long-term adverse impacts of GBV are needed.

埃塞俄比亚东部女高中生中基于性别的暴力行为。

基于性别的暴力 (GBV) 因其对妇女健康的短期和长期不利影响而成为一个重大的全球公共卫生问题。关于埃塞俄比亚女学生身体和情感暴力的相关因素知之甚少。我们使用便利的自我管理问卷确定了埃塞俄比亚东部 1,199 名女学生的情感暴力、身体暴力、性暴力和任何形式的 GBV 的程度和风险因素。过去 12 个月中任何形式的 GBV 的患病率为 53.04%（95% CI：50.22-55.87）。大约 52% (95% CI: 47.61-55.54) 的受访者表示他们经历过所有三种形式的 GBV。过去 12 个月情绪暴力的发生率为 43.04%（95% CI：40.22-45.84），身体暴力为 43.79%（95% CI：40.94-46.59），性暴力为 31.44% (95% CI: 28.81-34.07)。在过去的 12 个月中，有男朋友、已婚、没有从家人那里收到足够的零用钱、目睹暴力、酗酒、性活跃以及与家人讨论生殖健康都会增加任何形式的 GBV 的风险。这表明需要早期干预和支持以减轻 GBV 的长期不利影响。
