  • Description:
    "We conducted a 40 cluster by 48 national household survey in Swaziland from May 15 to June 16, 2007. A statistically valid sample size was calculated based on available data from prior surveys conducted in South Africa. In the first stage, enumeration areas (EA) (n=40) were selected with probability of selection proportional to size. In the second stage, we selected a systematic sample of households (n=48) with a random start in each EA, yielding a total of 1920 households nationally. A questionnaire was administered to one randomly selected eligible female 13-24 years of age in the selected household. The results of this study indicate that violence against female children is highly prevalent in Swaziland. Approximately 1 in 3 females experienced some form of sexual violence as a child; nearly 1 in 4 females experienced physical violence as a child; and approximately 3 in 10 females experienced emotional abuse as a child." - p. 7
