An intervention study was carried out among hawkers, drivers, instructors, police and judicial officers to reduce the incidence of violence against young female hawkers in three states of south-western Nigeria. Knowledge and experience of violence among the hawkers before and after the interventions were then compared. Findings show that they had greater knowledge of the different types of violence (p < 0.05), were more aware of their vulnerability to violence (99.4% after compared to 82.7% before intervention) and sought help or redress (76.3% after compared to 45.8% before intervention) following violent acts. Sexual violence was the commonest type experienced (30.4% and 15.7% at base line and end line respectively). The rate of violence also decreased. We conclude that multidisciplinary interventions that empower women economically and educationally and involve all stakeholders are effective in preventing violence against women.
在尼日利亚西南部三个州，针对小贩、司机、教师、警察和司法官员开展了一项干预研究，以减少针对年轻女小贩的暴力事件发生率。随后比较了干预前后小贩群体中暴力行为的相关知识和经历。研究结果表明，他们对不同类型暴力行为有了更多了解（p < 0.05），更清楚自身易遭受暴力侵害的情况（干预后为99.4%，干预前为82.7%），并且在遭受暴力行为后寻求帮助或补救的比例有所增加（干预后为76.3%，干预前为45.8%）。性暴力是最常经历的暴力类型（基线时为30.4%，结束时为15.7%）。暴力发生率也有所下降。我们得出结论，在经济和教育方面增强妇女权能并让所有利益相关者参与的多学科干预措施，对于预防针对妇女的暴力行为是有效的。
