Gender-Based Violence & Intimate Partner Violence Dataset

Abstract

This dataset provides 30,000 simulated GBV/IPV records (10,000 per scenario) of women in sub-Saharan Africa. Each record contains 45+ variables including violence type (physical, sexual, emotional, economic), risk factors, injuries, mental health consequences, help-seeking behaviour, barriers, and clinical response. Three settings: urban one-stop centre (26% help-seeking), district facility (20%), and community level (10%).

1. Introduction

Approximately 36% of women in SSA experience physical and/or sexual IPV in their lifetime — the highest prevalence globally (WHO 2024). DHS data across 26 SSA countries show physical violence 20-40%, sexual 5-20%, emotional 15-35%. IPV is associated with HIV, depression, PTSD, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Help-seeking rates remain low due to stigma, fear, normalisation, and lack of services.

This dataset is entirely simulated. It must not be used for clinical decision-making or legal purposes.

2. Methodology

2.1 Parameterization

Parameter	Value	Source
IPV lifetime prevalence (SSA)	~36%	WHO 2024
Physical violence	20-40%	Frontiers 2023
Sexual violence	5-20%	Frontiers 2023
Depression among IPV survivors	~40%	PMC 2020
PTSD among IPV survivors	~25%	PMC 2020
Help-seeking rate	~20%	DHS 2019-2024
Partner alcohol as risk factor	OR 1.5-2.0	PMC 2024

4. Validation

Validation Report

Key validation checks:

IPV prevalence: ~60% (any type), physical ~40% ✓
Help-seeking gradient: 26% → 20% → 10% ✓
Depression in IPV+: ~40% vs ~0% in non-IPV ✓
Partner alcohol: Higher among IPV+ ✓
Barriers: Stigma and fear dominant ✓
Clinical cascade drops: PEP completion very low ✓

5. Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/gender-based-violence-ipv", "district_health_facility")
df = dataset["train"].to_pandas()

6. Limitations

Simulated: Not from real GBV registries or DHS.
Women only: Male victimisation not modelled.
No perpetrator data: No detailed perpetrator characteristics.
Snapshot: No longitudinal tracking of violence trajectories.
Sensitive topic: Must be used with ethical consideration.
