This study aimed to understand socio-economic, psycho-social, environmental, and historical factors to identify events that may have triggered GBVF, and explore a strategy to assist in responding to GBVF. About 150 participants were interviewed, with a sample comprising of police officers, victims and suspects. In addition, 600 GBVF documents were reviewed with a sample comprising of police dockets, incidence reports, victim support service reports, and protection orders. The findings of the study suggest that socio-economic (low income, financial pressure, loss of employment), Psycho-social factors (cheating from both sides (male and female), protection order and withdrawal of GBVF case by applicant); environmental factors (climate change, deterioration of intimate relationships, scarcity of basic household Substance abuse, financial problems, bullying, power, unhealthy relationships, and ending a relationship were found to have motivated GBVF among females (Marizka, 2023; Koketso, 2022). Selowa, Baloyi, and Chueng (2022) find infidelity, unemployment, lack of trust or insecurities, physical abuse, stigma, emotional abuse, financial abuse, family separations, and friend separations as the main factors contributing to GBV among young males. Studies by previous authors recommended that different stakeholders must assist in minimizing GBV, and future research on the GBV phenomenon must be conducted.
