6 Overall, it is evident that disorders due to OVT are a very significant proportion of psychological morbidity. Nearly one adult in ten was suffering a clinically significant psychological disorder due to OVT, and nearly a third of all psychological morbidity was due to OVT. Here it should be borne in mind that this was almost three decades after the original violence, and hence the long-term consequences of OVT cannot be underestimated. As can be seen from Table 1 below, the survivors from Mount Darwin in Mashonaland Central reported a high frequency of many different types of torture. Table 1. Frequency of torture types in Mount Darwin survivors (Amani.1998) TYPE Physical torture Deprivation Impact torture: Sensory over stimulation Psychological abuse Psychological torture: Witness torture Witness executions Witness total: Total Torture: Frequency[mean; s.dev] 2.73[1.66] 2.22[1.88] 4.99[2.93] 0.83[1.28] 2.36[1.95] 3.19[2.64] 2.18[1.99] 0.65[0.99] 2.83[2.62] 8.53[5.55] Table 2 shows the frequency of the various types of physical abuse reported by the Mount Darwin group. This has much in common with the OVT groups. Beatings are the most common abuse reported, as is commonly found in all studies of torture survivors, and there are a number of other forms that are reported comparatively frequently - exposure, suspension, asphyxiation and electrical shock. Table 2. Frequency of physical abuse of Mount Darwin survivors (Amani1998). Beating Severe beating Exposure Suspension Unusual posture Asphyxiation Burning Electrical shock Rape Other 169[51%] 192[57%] 42[13%] 35[11%] 28[9%] 49[15%] 24[7%] 56[17%] 16[5%] 22[6%] Rape is always reported at a low frequency, which cannot be taken as indicative that rape was infrequent for several reasons. the most important of these is the very strong reluctance by women to report rape since this can have decidedly detrimental effects on their marital relationship. For example, at least two of the women who reported rape who concerned that their families might learn of their experience, and their concern was that their husbands might divorce them if they suspected that any of the children born during that time might have been products of the rape. Another reason lies in concerns over infertility, and the perception by husbands and families that the infertility might have been caused by the rape. AMANI TRUST: Beating your opposition.
