Findings of the Seychelles GBV Baseline Study

25 November

Launch of the preliminary findings of the Seychelles GBV Baseline Study.

More than half of the women (58%) and 43% of men have experienced some form of GBV at least once in their lifetime. Both women and men have perpetrated GBV with 31% and 40% prevalence rates respectively. The study further shows that most of the violence occurs in the home between intimate partners. Fifty four percent of women and over a third (35%) of men have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). An equal proportion (40%) of women and men confirmed they have perpetrated violence against an intimate partner. While this study shows that both women and men are vulnerable, it is evident that the former are more vulnerable. These are among the key findings of the Gender Based Violence National Baseline Study in Seychelles.
