Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are primary producers of subsistence food and significant contributors to the agricultural economy. Gender Based Violence (GBV) adversely impacts their capacity to contribute and sustain their families and undermines social, economic, and human capital. Addressing GBV, therefore, is critical to creating safe and inclusive environments for women as primary producers to participate fully in rural communities. The aim of this scoping review is to explore the existing evidence on GBV in the context of women primary producers in LMICs to inform research gaps and priorities.
METHODS: A scoping review was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Ebscohost and Google Scholar using keywords related to GBV and women producers in LMICs. Peer-reviewed journal articles published between January 2012 and June 2022 were included in the review. Duplicates were removed, titles and abstracts were screened, and characteristics and main results of included studies were recorded in a data charting form. A total of 579 records were identified, of which 49 studies were eligible for inclusion in this study.
RESULTS: Five major themes were identified from our analysis: (1) extent and nature of GBV, (2) the impact of GBV on agricultural/primary production livelihood activities, (3) sociocultural beliefs, practices, and attitudes, (4) aggravating or protective factors, and (5) GBV interventions. Addressing GBV in agriculture requires inclusive research approaches and targeted interventions to empower women producers, promote gender equality, enhance agricultural productivity, and contribute to broader societal development. Despite attempts by researchers to delve into this issue, the pervasive under-reporting of GBV remains a challenge. The true extent and nature of GBV perpetrated against women is far from fully understood in this context.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the significant challenges posed by GBV to the health, economy and livelihoods of women primary producers in LMICs, there is a paucity in the current state of knowledge. To make meaningful progress, more research is required to understand the relationship between GBV and agricultural settings, and to gain nuanced insight into the nature and impact of GBV on women primary producers in different regions and contexts.
摘要:
背景:低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)的妇女是自给食品的主要生产者,也是农业经济的重要贡献者。基于性别的暴力(GBV)对他们贡献和维持家庭的能力产生不利影响,并破坏社会,经济,和人力资本。解决GBV,因此,对于为妇女作为初级生产者充分参与农村社区创造安全和包容的环境至关重要。这项范围界定审查的目的是在LMICs的女性初级生产者的背景下探索关于GBV的现有证据,以告知研究差距和优先事项。
方法:使用PubMed进行了范围审查,WebofScience,Ebscohost和GoogleScholar使用与LMIC中的GBV和女性生产者相关的关键字。在2012年1月至2022年6月期间发表的同行评审期刊文章被纳入审查。已删除重复项,标题和摘要进行了筛选,纳入研究的特征和主要结果记录在数据图表中。共识别出579条记录,其中49项研究符合纳入本研究的条件.
结果:从我们的分析中确定了五个主要主题:(1)GBV的范围和性质,(2)GBV对农业/初级生产生计活动的影响,(3)社会文化信仰,实践,和态度,(4)加重或保护因素,(5)GBV干预。解决农业中的性别暴力需要包容性研究方法和有针对性的干预措施,以增强女性生产者的权能,促进性别平等,提高农业生产力,为更广泛的社会发展做出贡献。尽管研究人员试图深入研究这个问题,普遍的GBV漏报仍然是一个挑战.在这种情况下,对妇女犯下的基于性别的暴力的真实程度和性质远未得到充分理解。
结论:尽管GBV对健康构成了重大挑战,中等收入国家妇女初级生产者的经济和生计,目前的知识状况很少。为了取得有意义的进步,需要更多的研究来了解GBV和农业环境之间的关系,并深入了解性别暴力对不同地区和背景下女性初级生产者的性质和影响。
