In Zimbabwe, levels of spousal Gender-Based Violence (GBV) remain a health, human rights and development concern. The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between spousal GBV and women's empowerment among women aged 15-49 who were currently in union or living with a man. The analysis utilised the 2010-11 Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS) data. Spousal violence was measured by different forms of GBV i.e. physical, emotional, sexual violence and overall GBV. Overall, 48.2% of women of reproductive age who are in a union experience some type of GBV. More specifically, 26.9% report physical violence, 25.7% sexual violence and 25.7% emotional violence. The analysis showed that women who did not participate in decision-making at household level were more likely to experience GBV than those who do. Women who have control over their spouses' earnings were less likely to suffer from GBV. However, ownership of property (land and/or house) was not associated with spousal GBV. Women who were in polygamous unions, whose spouses drank alcohol, earned less than their spouses and had a history of non-spousal physical violence were more likely to experience GBV than all other women. Younger women (aged 15-19 years) were more likely to experience spousal emotional, physical and sexual violence than the older age groups. Recommendations are to improve women's participation in decision making, mainstreaming GBV in development, and improve the economic and social emancipation of women and girls.

L'objectif principal de cette etude etait d'examiner l'association entre la violence conjugale a caractere sexiste et l'autonomisation des femmes chez les femmes âges de 15 a 49 ans actuellement en union conjugale ou vivant en couple avec un homme. L'analyse a utilise des donnees recueillies dans l'Enquete demographique et de sante au Zimba-bwe (ZDHS) effectuee entre 2010 et 11 [The 2010-11 Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS)]. La violence conjugale a ete mesuree par differentes formes de violence a caractere sexiste c'est-a-dire physique, emotionnel, la violence sexuelle et la la violence a caractere sexiste globale. Glob-alement, 48.2% des femmes en âge de procreer en union conjugale en subit la violence a caractere sex-iste sous une forme ou une autre. Plus specifiquement, 26.9% d'entre-elles dit avoir ete victimes de vio-lence physique, 25.7% d'entre-elles signale avoir souffert des violences sexuelles et 25.7% fait part de la violence emotionnelle. Cette analyse a demontre que les femmes qui ne participent pas a la prise de deci-sion au niveau des menages etaient plus susceptibles que celles qui y participent de d'etre touchees par la violence a caractere sexiste. Les femmes qui disposent a leur gre du revenu de leurs conjoints etaient moins susceptibles de souffrir de la violence a caractere sexiste. Toutefois, la propriete des biens (terres et/ou maison) n'est pas associee a la violence conjugale a caractere sexiste. Les femmes en unions polyg-ames, dont les conjoints consomment de l'alcool, gagnent moins que leurs conjoints et qui ont un lourd passe en matiere de la violence physique non-conjugale etaient les plus susceptibles que toutes les autres femmes de subir la violence a caractere sexiste. Les femmes plus jeunes (agees de 15 a 19 ans) etaient plus susceptibles que les groupes plus âges de connaitre la violence conjugale sous forme emotionnelle, physique et sexuelle. Les recommandations de cette etude sont destinees a amelioration de la participa-tion des femmes a la prise de decision, a l'integration de la violence a caractere sexiste dans le de-veloppement, et a amelioration de l'emancipation economique et sociale des femmes et des filles.
