Question pretext
Now, the purpose of the next questions is to assess your own experiences of violence. Violence is a traumatic experience. This includes different types of violence. This could include physical violence (hitting, punching, being kicked, slapped, choked, hurt with a weapon, or otherwise physically hurt, sexual violence, psychological harm (threats, insults, being talked down to), including threats of violence and/or coercion by members of your own family (including by a husband, partner, boyfriend, acquaintances, and/or strangers in the home, community and/or during armed conflict.
Violence can also lead to health problems (physical and mental) for some women. Please, don't forget that all your answers are absolutely confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside the study. If I ask a question you don't want to answer, tell me and I will jump to the next question.
If you would like some support to help with the consequences of experiencing violence, we can refer you to relevant health and protection services.
