Introduction -- Young men's perceptions and experiences of gender-based violence in Sub-Saharan African: A systematic review of the literature -- 'My health is my responsibility': Realities of LGBT youth's access to health care in South Africa -- Catalyzing action on violence against pregnant women -- COVID-19, Online Sexual Harassment and Social Media: A study of Internet-facilitated Violence Against Women during the Pandemic Lockdown -- Factors leading to Xenophobic Violence and its Impact on Youth Immigrant Informal Traders in the City of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa -- Effective linkages of young people to SRHR services as protective measures against adolescent sexual and gender-based violence -- Strategic resistance against violence affiliated with Covid-19 pandemic -- Microaggressions in schools and communities: The case of perinatally HIV-infected youth in South Africa -- "Secure the bag": young women's agencies towards better vs bare lifestyles -- Youth Exclusion and Violence as Intervention: The EndSARS Protest as Metaphor in Nigeria -- Conclusion.

This edited volume offers a rich collection of up-to-date research and critical scholarship from various African institutions on incidents of youth violence, intervention and prevention in sub-Saharan Africa. It integrates thinking, evidence, responses, and debates relating to this topic, laying the basis for fresh insights and innovative strategies. The chapters capture a spectrum of pertinent issues such as economic hardship, lockdowns, sexual and reproductive health, pregnancy, online sexual harassment, xenophobic violence, and micro-aggressions in school contexts, and present guidelines on how countries might learn from successful interventions recently implemented. They explore young people's access to familial and community resources, state-sponsored initiatives, peer counselling, youth-friendly services, and other relevant structures. Thus, among other things, this volume stimulates further debate on what is driving violence in different African contexts-specifically, how intersectional identities create vulnerabilities to violence-and influences ways of dealing with the issue. This interdisciplinary and cross-cutting volume serves as a vital resource for experts at universities, in international organisations, civil society groups and intergovernmental organisations who wish to both analyse and take action to address and prevent the type of violence that currently afflicts young people sub-Saharan Africa today.
