Notes
1 We define IPV as ‘physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse’ (CDC Citation2010). We identify IPV as a specific form of SGBV, which the UN defines as ‘violence that targets individuals or groups on the basis of their gender’ (Integrated Regional Information Networks [IRIN] Citation2004).
2 Both West Point (est. 1960, pop. 50,000–70,000) and Peace Island (est. 2003, pop. 30,000) are settled on publicly owned land (Williams Citation2011).
3 The sample included: men's group trained in SGBV awareness, advocacy coordinator at an international NGO, community legal advisor, women's group SGBV liaison, member of a women's protection police unit, and member of the UN-instituted community-policing forum.
4 The current rape law does not define perpetrators and thus does not explicitly include marital rape.
5 Can a husband be found guilty for raping his wife? Can a woman rape a man? Does a perpetrator need to be present in order for a rape to be reported?
