Ukatili dhidi ya Wanawake na Wasichana unasalia kuwa miongoni mwa Ukiukwaji mkubwa wa Haki za Binadamu Duniani.
Inakadiriwa Wanawake milioni 736 - karibu Mwanamke 1 kati ya 3 wamekumbana na Unyanyasaji wa Kimwili na/au wa Kingono angalau mara moja katika Maisha yao.
Ukatili dhidi ya Wanawake umeongezeka katika Mazingira tofauti pia, ikiwa ni pamoja na Sehemu za kazi na Mitandaoni.
Kwenye Sekta ya Teknolojia, asilimia 44 ya waanzilishi Wanawake walipata aina fulani ya Unyanyasaji Kazini Mwaka 2020, ambapo asilimia 41 walipitia Unyanyasaji Kingono.
Takwimu za UNICEF 2023 zinaonesha takriban asilimia 17 ya Wasichana na Wanawake Kusini mwa Afrika wamepitia Unyanyasaji wa Kingono katika Maisha yao huku asilimia 80 ya Watoto wamepitia Malezi ya kikatili
Asilimia 28 ya Wanawake Nchini Tanzania wamefanyiwa ukatili wa kingono wakati wa Utotoni. Watuhumiwa wengi wanaofanya Ukatili huu ni Wenza wa sasa au wale walioachana na Waathirika
Aidha, katika eneo hili la Afrika, Wanawake wana Uwezekano mkubwa wa kuripoti matukio ya Unyanyasaji wa Kijinsia (asilimia 28) ikilinganishwa na Wanaume (asilimia 18).

Violence is a preventable, life-threatening and costly human rights violation for millions of girls, boys and women across all contexts and settings in Eastern and Southern Africa and within the countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). When it comes to protecting children and women and ensuring they realize their full potential, one victim of violence is one too many.
SADC countries have a strong evidence base on the subject of violence. Still, the prevalence of sexual, physical and emotional violence in some of these countries is among the highest in the world.The root causes of violence against children and violence against women are grounded in power imbalances. Abuse of power occurs along the dimensions of both age and gender.
The status of children as dependent on adults, along with their evolving capacities, render them highly vulnerable to all forms of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation. Violence against women is underpinned by social norms that reinforce gender-based inequalities. Girls and women face specific types of violence that are both a consequence of this inequality and that act as a mechanism through which their subordinate status in society is perpetuated.
Violence against boys and girls and violence against women often occur together and have shared multiple risk factors. Evidence shows that strongly held gender and social norms can contribute to violence against children and women. They include attitudes about violence against women in the home, norms that promote male superiority, and the perceived necessity of violent discipline in raising a well-behaved child and successful adult.
Similarly, as in all parts of the world, social norms that seek to preserve community and family cohesion can unfortunately also act to prevent survivors from reporting abuse and accessing the social, legal and/or medical services they may need.Additional drivers of violence against children and women include structural and systemic factors such as poverty, unemployment, weak legal frameworks, armed conflict and humanitarian crises.
In the context of weak legal frameworks, laws, policies, and justice and social welfare systems, children and women often fall through the cracks and are not able to access or receive the care and support required to prevent and respond to violence. These factors, coupled with an absence of implemented policies, adequate services and social action in the region, have contributed to a situation in which violence against women and children is often normalized, and thus risks intergenerational transmission.
In the SADC region, around 3 in 10 young women were married before the age of 18 – one of the highest prevalence rates for child marriage in the world.2 Among these young brides, nearly half (45 per cent) view wife-beating as justified under certain conditions, and more than 1 in 3 (39 per cent) have experienced intimate partner violence in the past year.3 Girls who marry in childhood also face heightened risks of early pregnancy, social isolation and an end to schooling.To end violence within the region, SADC and the UNICEF Regional Office for Eastern and Southern Africa (ESARO) have established, as a collective priority, the prevention of and response to violence against girls, boys and women.
SADC has set out its commitments to addressing such violence in its Regional Strategy and Framework of Action for Addressing Gender-Based Violence (2018-2030). In 2022, UNICEF ESARO launched the Regional Collaboration for Children to articulate an approach for advancing a set of critical results for children and adolescents, which include ending violence against boys, girls and women as one of five focus areas
