Gender based violence (GBV) is a devastating problem for women in general, but it is more dreadfulrnamong women with disabilities (WWD). The extent of GBV and its association with mental healthrnamong WWDs and women without disabilities (WWODs) are almost unexplored issues even at globalrnlevel. Thus, the current study explored the extent of GBV and its association with mental healthrnamong WWOD and WWD in Addis Ababa. For this purposes, 303 WWDs and 170 WWODs were selectedrnby using simple random sampling technique. WHO GBV assessment instrument, PHQ-9, PTSDrnChecklist-Civilian version, STAI and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were the instruments used. Datarnwere analyzed using descriptive statistics and MANOVA followed by univarate ANOVA post-hocrncomparison followed by independent samples t-test. The aggregate result of GBV revealed that,rn84.1% of WWDs and 76.48% of WWODs experienced at least one element of GBV during their liferntime. Similarly, 76.56% of WWDs and 60% of WWODs experienced GBV during the last twelvernmonths. In addition, 79.2%, 72.6% and 63.7% of WWDs experienced psychological, sexual and physicalrnviolence respectively during their life time. For WWODs, 65.9%, 51%, and 50% experiencedrnpsychological, physical and sexual violence respectively during their life time. Regarding GBV andrnmental health problems and self-esteem, more number of WWDs and WWODs who experienced GBVrnmet the criteria for depression, anxiety, and PTSD and also lower self-esteem than their non-abusedrncounterparts. Result from MANOVA revealed that there was statistically significant difference in depression,rnstate-anxiety, and PTSD among WWD who experienced and did not experience GBV. Inrnaddition, there was statistically significant difference between WWD and WWOD who experiencedrnGBV only for self-esteem mean scores but not for depression, state-anxiety, trait-anxiety and PTSD.rnFinally, there was no statistically significant difference between women living with visual, hearingrnand physical disability for the five dependent variables. Implications of the findings are exploredrnagainst prevention, remediation, and rehabilitation of WWD and WWOD who have been physically,rnsexually and psychologically abused.
