“…Displaced WLHIV were significantly more likely to have experienced sexual violence (aPR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.67 to 4.51), violence in healthcare (aPR: 2.57, 95% CI: 1.49 to 4.43), pregnancy coercion (aPR: 2.60, 95% CI: 1.41 to 4.78), sterilisation coercion (aPR: 4.26, 95% CI: 1.17 to 15.43) and contraception coercion (aPR: 2.48, 95% CI: 1.00 to 6.15) compared with non-displaced WLHIV.Conclusion As the war in Ukraine continues, humanitarian and health systems can use these findings to guide integration of GBV referrals and scale-up of trauma-informed care and antiexploitation training into Ukrainian programming.
