This report builds on previous research and synthesises findings from the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) programme’s third round of data collection (in 2021 and 2022) to explore patterns in Ethiopian young people’s bodily integrity and freedom from violence (Jones et al., 2019; Jones et al., 2020; Emirie et al., 2020; Murphy et al., 2020; Presler-Marshall et al., 2020; Presler-Marshall et all, 2022; Presler-Marshall, 2023). Paying careful attention to similarities and differences between groups of adolescents (aged 13-17) and young adults (aged 18-21) (based on gender, geographical location, and intersecting disadvantages including disability and child marriage) we explore multiple indicators of bodily integrity. These include violence at home and at school, peer and youth violence, sexual violence, female genital mutilation, child marriage, and intimate partner violence. Where it adds to the story, we also report change over time using earlier rounds of GAGE data. The report concludes with implications for policy and programming.
