Reviews the research literature on violence against women and girls in various regions of sub-Saharan Africa and the juncture of violence with HIV-AIDS. Reports on findings from a population-based survey performed in an urban centre in northern Tanzania which explores indicators of gender inequality, the measurement of different forms of violence against women and the link between women's victimisation and their HIV status.
