Gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescent girls in Senegal: an analysis of social control practices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article problematizes gender-based violence (GBV) as a social practice and explains its role as a social mechanism for controlling bodies. Based on a mixed methodological approach (combining questionnaires, qualitative interviews, focus groups, and participant observation) targeting both adolescent girls and community actors, this study reveals forms of GBV that are little explored among the adolescent population. Social practices, such as "nëpp nëppël" or the culture of silence, frequently conceal GBV within families, hindering reporting and thus limiting adolescents' access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services and influencing their limited knowledge of SRHR. Shelter centres, such as Kullimaaroo, are crucially important in this context by providing holistic support to victims of GBV, but such structures are rare in Senegal. We conclude that it is necessary to adopt a holistic approach taking into account social practices to address the complex relationship between GBV and SRHR among adolescents in Senegal.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
