Brief Description

To strengthen the utilization of gender statistics in informing the design, scale-up, and evaluation of FGM and GBV programming in the country, the KDHS 2022 report has, to some extent, enhanced comprehensive gender-specific data. This has facilitated more informed, evidence-based policy formulation, program design, as well as improved decision-making and strategic planning. However, very little gender-, age-, and disability-disaggregated data is presented in the KDHS 2022, particularly concerning women with disabilities. Additionally, the report does not include an intersectional analysis of the data, which prevents the visualization of the violence encountered by girls and women with disabilities.
