VAWG in Burundi: Evidence Review
A summary of the evidence on violence against women and girls (VAWG) in Burundi.
This review found evidence from UN Women, Burundi’s DHS survey, academic articles and anecdotal reports suggests that Burundian women are at risk of multiple forms of violence including non-partner violence, intimate partner violence, economic violence, and violence associated with land rights. Women with disabilities, adolescent girls, LBTQ+ women, refugees, pregnant women and widows are at particular risk of violence. This violence is driven by social norms, gender roles, insecurity within internally displaced people camps, alcohol consumption by perpetrators and isolation (especially for women with disabilities).
