| dc.description.abstract | This study explored the resilience of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Lusaka District despite existing interventions. It assessed strategies, obstacles, and the impact of GBV on victims and society. Using a qualitative descriptive design with 24 purposively selected participants, the study found several strategies in place, including community awareness, Victim Support Units, and legal frameworks. However, obstacles such as cultural norms, economic vulnerability, and insufficient sensitization hindered progress. The study highlighted the severe effects of GBV, including divorce, loss of productivity, and health risks. It recommended increased community education, harsher penalties for perpetrators, and more resources to combat GBV. | |
