Аннотация

Ethiopia has the highest rate of gender based violence GBV in sub Saharan Africa Mingude and Dejene, 2021 . Females make up 92 of GBV cases Kassa and Abajobir, 2020 . This poses a significant threat to the well being of girls and women in Ethiopia from a physical and psychological standpoint. A scoping review was conducted on the reported factors contributing to GBV in Ethiopia. Four databases were used OVID Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL. Of the 220 studies initially identified, 53 were ultimately included. It is important to address this topic because high rates of GBV result in an inequitable society. As well, a community as a whole cannot thrive when a significant portion of its members live in fear of GBV. After reviewing the available literature, the key factors contributing to GBV identified were a history of witnessing parental violence culture education level income level location of residence alcohol and substance abuse and employment status. Furthermore, based on the gaps identified in the literature, there is an opportunity for future research to inform policy and practices. This will also allow global health professionals worldwide to work in concert to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 SDG 5 gender equality United Nations, 2021 .
