  • a systematic review of African Studies on intimate partner violence against pregnant women prevalence and risk factors
    PLOS ONE, 2011
    Co-Authors: Simukai Shamu, Naeemah Abrahams, Marleen Temmerman, Alfred Musekiwa, Christina Zarowsky
    Abstract:

    Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) is very high in Africa. However, information obtained from the increasing number of African Studies on IPV among pregnant women has not been scientifically analyzed. This paper presents a systematic review summing up the evidence from African Studies on IPV prevalence and risk factors among pregnant women.

  • guns and gender based violence in south africa
    South African Medical Journal, 2010
    Co-Authors: Naeemah Abrahams, Rachel Jewkes, Shanaaz Mathews
    Abstract:

    Background. The criminal use of firearms in South Africa is widespread and a major factor in the country having the third-highest homicide rate in the world. Violence is a common feature of South African society. A firearm in the home is a risk factor in intimate partner violence, but this has not been readily demonstrated in South Africa because of a lack of data. Methods. We drew on several South African Studies including national homicide Studies, intimate partner Studies, Studies with male participants and Studies from the justice sector, to discuss the role of gun ownership on gender-based violence. Conclusion. Guns play a significant role in violence against women in South Africa, most notably in the killing of intimate partners. Although the overall homicide data suggest that death by shooting is decreasing, data for intimate partner violence are not readily available. We have no idea if the overall decrease in gunshot homicides applies to women in relationships, and therefore gun control should remain high on the legislative agenda.

This Yoruba Anjemi grammar book is in good condition, and has no missing pages. Though undated, our sources indicate that it was written about 20 years ago (circa 1999).The manuscript titled "Iwe-Kikọ Ọrọ" (Yoruba Anjemi Grammar Book) is a small grammar book written in Yoruba Anjemi to teach students the system and structure of the Yoruba language, using the modified Arabic script – Anjemi. It contains tables with the letters, vowels, syntax and morphology, phonology, and the Yoruba system of semantics. Exclusively written in Yoruba Anjemi, the manuscript is less than 20 pages, numbered using Arabic numerals at the top center of each page, with no date of publication. Importantly, the sponsors’ address (Markaz Ihyahil Islam Abayawo, Ilorin – Nigeria) is boldly written on the front and back covers. Also, the email address and cellphone numbers of the printer (or publisher) was on the back cover of the small grammar book. Although predominantly written in Yoruba Anjemi, the supplications are meant to be read or chanted in Arabic. The scribe used the standard Mashriqi writing style and for illustration purposes. Latin script was also used throughout the book, with Yoruba implosives on the vowels, in consistence with the Yoruba pronunciations.The contents of this collection were developed with support of the Title VI National Resource Center grant # P015A180164 from the U.S. Department of Education.

  • Al-Tafsīrul-Qur’ānil Karīm (A translational meaning of the Qur’an)

    The entire manuscript is available for download as a single PDF file. Higher-resolution images may be available upon request. For technical assistance, please contact open-help@bu.edu. Fieldwork Team: Dr. Mustapha Hashim Kurfi (Principal Investigator), Malam Umar Hajji Mustapha (Local Project Manager) and Abdullahi Mohammed (General Field Facilitator).

For Inquiries: Please contact Professor Fallou Ngom (fngom@bu.edu).Provenance and Condition: This manuscript is owned by the Markaz Ihyahil Islam Abayawo, Ilorin – Nigeria, an institution which propagates, teaches and popularizes Yoruba Anjemi knowledge. At-Tafsīrul-Qur’ānil Karīm in Yoruba Anjemi has only 4 pages and is in good condition and has no author name. We were able to find and digitize pages 15 to 18, which indicates that there were missing pages (i.e. pages 1 to 14, and perhaps beyond the 18th page).This manuscript titled Al-Tafsīrul-Qur’ānil Karīm-, shortened as Tafsīr, roughly provides an exegesis of the Glorious Qur’ān. This 4-page document appears to be a handout which is given to students at a tertiary institution. The top quarter of each page has a straight line which separates the Qur’ānic verses written in Arabic from the other part of the page which has the Yoruba Anjemi translational meaning and commentaries. The information we gathered from the owners of the manuscript was that the Markaz produced these as instructional materials for their students, and was targeting high school students in particular. Written in Yoruba Anjemi, using the standard Mashriqi style of writing, there is Roman numeral page numbering at the top center of each page. The chapters from the Qu’ran which were translated for this work include the last verses of Sūratu Muhammad (47: 35-38); and Sūratu-Al-Fat-ḥi (Q. 48: 1-15).The contents of this collection were developed with support of the Title VI National Resource Center grant # P015A180164 from the U.S. Department of Education.
