The current study focuses on a community-led land and property rights program in two rural provinces in western Kenya. The program was designed to respond to women's property rights violations to reduce violence against women and HIV risks at the community level. Through in-depth interviews with 30 women, we examine the perceived impact that this community-level property rights program had on violence against women at the individual and community level. We also examine perceptions as to how reductions in violence were achieved. Finally, we consider how our findings may aid researchers in the design of structural violence-prevention strategies.
当前的研究聚焦于肯尼亚西部两个农村省份一项由社区主导的土地和财产权项目。该项目旨在应对侵犯妇女财产权的问题,以在社区层面减少针对妇女的暴力行为和感染艾滋病毒的风险。通过对30名妇女进行深入访谈,我们考察了这一社区层面的财产权项目在个人和社区层面上对针对妇女暴力行为的感知影响。我们还考察了关于如何实现暴力行为减少的看法。最后,我们思考我们的研究结果如何有助于研究人员设计结构性暴力预防策略。
