These causative factors have resulted to a multiple other problem affecting health, gender equality, education, economic status and land. The purpose of this study was to carefully identify root causes of gender-based violence and closely associated themes, extent of harm and level of response, understand community’s cultural practices, economic status and willingness to accept and welcome change. The study also helped in establishing baselines, understanding statistics and hence guiding the implementation plan as well as help in tracking impact and project sustainability.
