Abstract
This systematic literature review sought to identify social norms influencing the perpetration of, and response to, sexual violence and physical intimate partner violence in Somalia. A systematic search of four online databases (Embase, Cinahl Plus, Scopus, and PsychINFO) was undertaken to identify peer-reviewed articles relevant to this study. The search was then expanded to identify other relevant documents published out with academic journals, such as technical or government reports. A total of 19 peer-reviewed journal articles, books, or book chapters were identified, in addition to other relevant papers and reports. A variety of norms were identified, which could be categorized as norms contributing to violence, norms limiting prevention or support, and norms preventing violence or diminishing its consequences. The literature review underlined the importance of considering the intersectionality of social norms and individual, institutional, material, and other social influences on behaviour when seeking to design interventions to address sexual violence and physical intimate partner violence in Somalia.
