Reporting of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) allows survivors to access support services to minimize the impact of the violence on their lives. However, research shows that most SGBV survivors do not report.
We aimed to determine the proportion of survivors of SGBV in Mayuge District, Uganda, who report SGBV and the factors associated with reporting.
Using a cross-sectional study design, we analyzed data of SGBV survivors in eight villages in Mayuge district collected in a baseline survey of a larger experimental study. Data were analysed using Modified Poisson Regression.
Of the 723 participants, 65% were female. Only 31.9% had reported the SGBV experienced. Reporting was 43% lower among survivors aged 45 years and older (p-value = 0.003), and 41% lower among survivors with higher than a primary school education (p-value = 0.005). Likewise, reporting was 37% lower among survivors who relied on financial support from their partners (p-value = 0.001). Female survivors were also 63% more likely to report (p-value = 0.001), while survivors who were separated/widowed were 185% more likely to report than those who were never married (p-value = 0.006).
Reporting of SGBV by survivors in Mayuge was found to below.
性暴力和基于性别的暴力（SGBV）的报告可以使幸存者获得支持服务，以最大程度地减少暴力对其生活的影响。但是，研究表明，大多数 SGBV 幸存者并未报案。
我们旨在确定乌干达马尤盖区 SGBV 幸存者中报告 SGBV 的比例，以及与报告相关的因素。
我们使用横断面研究设计，分析了在马尤盖区八个村庄中收集的 SGBV 幸存者的基线调查数据，该调查是一项更大的实验研究的一部分。使用修正后的 Poisson 回归分析数据。
在 723 名参与者中，有 65％为女性。仅 31.9％报告了所经历的 SGBV。与年龄在 45 岁及以上的幸存者（p 值= 0.003）相比，报告率降低了 43％，与受过小学以上教育的幸存者（p 值= 0.005）相比，报告率降低了 41％。同样，依赖伴侣经济支持的幸存者的报告率降低了 37％（p 值= 0.001）。女性幸存者的报告率也高出 63％（p 值= 0.001），而与从未结婚的幸存者相比，分居/丧偶的幸存者的报告率高出 185％（p 值= 0.006）。
在马尤盖，发现 SGBV 幸存者的报告率较低。
