This policy paper draws chiefly from a survey module included in the Afrobarometer Round 9 (2021/2023) questionnaire to explore Africans’ experiences and perceptions of GBV and women’s rights in general. Afrobarometer is a pan-African, nonpartisan survey research network. Round 9 surveys (2021/2023) cover 39 countries. The Afrobarometer team in South Africa, led by the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, interviewed 1,582 adult South Africans in November–December 2022. A sample of this size yields country-level results with a margin of error of +/-2.5 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
