Analytical Report10.4 Gender ViolenceGender-based violence involves men and women, whereby the female is usually thevictim and this arises from unequal power relationships between men and women. Itencompasses a wide range of human rights violations, including sexual abuse ofchildren, rape, child abuse including discrimination against girls, child labour, politicalviolence from a gender perspective, intimate partner abuse, defilement, domesticviolence, sexual assault and harassment, trafficking of women and girls, pornography,infanticide, forced control over the reproductive functions of a person, and severalharmful traditional practices against women and children. It is a persuasive health andhuman rights problem existing throughout the country but the patterns and prevalencemay vary from place to place.The 2002 Census asked questions related to Gender Based Violence (GBV) using acommunity questionnaire. This was administered to a team of opinion leaders at Localcouncil level (LC1) 16 . The information generated is an opinion of the communityleaders about the existence of practices such as widow inheritance, rape anddefilement in the communities.10.4.1 Widow inheritanceWidow inheritance, one of the forms of gender-based violence, is a custom where amale relative of a deceased husband inherits the widow as his wife without contractingany of the recognised marriages under the Ugandan Law.Seven percent (one in every 14) of the communities in Uganda reported that widowinheritance was very common in their community (See Table 10.4). In the rest of thecommunities, widow inheritance did not exist at all (45 percent) or it existed but wasnot common (47 percent). The prevalence of widow inheritance varied by region. TheNorthern region had the highest percentage of communities reported to be practicingwidow inheritance, while the central region had the lowest proportion of communitiesreporting widow inheritance.16 It should be noted that the data on Gender Violence was collected for the LC 1 as a whole, irrespective of its sizegeographically and in population135
