abstract="This article uses survey data from 131 women living in urban slums in Kenya to explore associations between stigma, stigma challenges, empowerment, and disclosure of intimate partner violence (IPV). A total of 81.7% of women reported informal or formal disclosure of IPV. A bystander offering help and experiencing stigma were associated with significant increases in the odds of informal and formal disclosure. There were also significant positive associations between participating in financial decision-making, membership in survivor support groups, and formal disclosure. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that interpersonal, community, and structural challenges to stigma interfere with stigma as a barrier to disclosure.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
