Many studies (e.g. Abrahams, et al., 1999; Jewkes, 2002; Sigsworth, 2009; Wood & Jewkes 2001) found that imbalances of power in gender inequality and discriminatory patriarchal practices against women to be root causes of GBV. These patriarchal attitudes often favour men over women. In addition, there is an acknowledgment in the literature that GBV is caused by an interplay of individual, community, economic, cultural and religious factors interacting at different levels of society (Krug et al. 2015). For Heise, Ellsberg and Gottmoeller (2002), some factors that influence GBV at an individual level include growing up in a home characterised by violence, which becomes normalised later in life as a means of communication, and having an absent father or a father who is not a positive role model and so forth. At community level, factors include a neighbourhood where violence against women is seen as the norm culturally and religiously, use of alcohol and ownership of guns, all of which are celebrated as markers of hegemonic masculinity. At the economic level, factors include poverty, unemployment and changing economic statuses among men and women.
