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.
基于性别的暴力（GBV）是一个重大的全球公共卫生问题，因为它对女性健康有短期和长期的不良影响。在埃塞俄比亚，关于女学生遭受身体和情感暴力的相关因素知之甚少。我们使用方便的自我管理问卷，在埃塞俄比亚东部对 1199 名女学生进行了调查，以确定情感暴力、身体暴力、性暴力和任何形式的 GBV 的严重程度和危险因素。在过去 12 个月中，任何形式的 GBV 的流行率为 53.04%（95%CI：50.22-55.87）。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。在过去 12 个月中，情感暴力的流行率为 43.04%（95%CI：40.22-45.84），身体暴力的流行率为 43.79%（95%CI：40.94-46.59），性暴力的流行率为 31.44%（95%CI：28.81-34.07）。有男朋友、已婚、没有从家庭中得到足够的零花钱、目睹儿童时期的暴力行为、饮酒、性行为活跃以及与家人讨论生殖健康，这些都增加了过去 12 个月中任何形式的 GBV 的风险。这表明需要早期干预和支持，以减轻 GBV 的长期不良影响。
