| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Introduction: Gender-based violence is an alarming social problem that affects people around the world, including adolescents. It comprises physical, sexual or mental impairment and threats of such acts which could happen either in public or private areas. The study finds out knowledge and attitudes regarding gender-based violence. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was used for the study. A total of 286 adolescents of 9th and 10th-grade students were selected by using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. A Self- admistered questionnaire was developed by the researchers based on a literature review. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: Out of 286 respondents, more than half (55.6 %) had an inadequate level of knowledge regarding gender-based violence. Nearly half (49.3 %) had a favourable attitude towards gender-based violence. A minority of the respondents (20.6 %) felt at least one type of gender-based violence in their lifetime. About one-fifth (20.6 %) had unfavourable attitude There is a significant association between level of knowledge and type of family. However, there is no significant association between the level of knowledge and other socio-demographic variables.
