You are required to analyse the results(of your choice) of a community survey carried out in Uganda. (It was also done in other countries but they are not included here).
Find out about the nature of violence against women and girls (VAW/G) in three different communities (in the districts of Kayunga, Kawempe and Mukono), and in particular violent assaults using acid and other materials (acid and burn violence, ABV).
We wanted to understand people’s knowledge and experience of this kind of violence, attitudes to it, support available and possible ways of combatting it.
The original questionnaire (a Word document), the Excel datasheet designed for data entry. Use the first two to help you understand the questions asked.
You are required to produce a clear, concise and professionally formatted report to explain the key findings and their implications.
Use your knowledge of SPSS to analyse the dataset and answer the questions below. Illustrate your results with tables or figures (chart/graph) as appropriate, and comment on each one (a few sentences is sufficient) – what they show, any points of interest etc. Comment and interpretation should be based on the evidence from the survey and/or linked to literature if appropriate.
