Article Synopsis
- A study surveyed 271 female college students in Eswatini to examine the prevalence of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and the factors affecting their intention to seek professional help after experiencing such violence.
- Results showed that 73.1% of the respondents reported experiencing SGBV, but only 43.4% sought help; key influences on help-seeking included positive attitudes, social norms, and marital status, which explained 66% of the intention to seek help.
- The findings highlight a significant gap between SGBV experiences and help-seeking behaviors, indicating the need for culturally relevant public health interventions and educational programs to better support survivors.
