  14. Scope of the methodological overview Analysis of 59 nationally representative surveys from 49 countries Dedicated surveys – 21 countries Dedicated module – 5 countries WHO-VaW methodology – 10+4 countries DHS methodology - 10 Other - 1

  15. Findings Total and age specific rate of women subjected to physical violence in the last 12 months by severity of violence, relationship to the perpetrator and frequency

  16. Findings Total and age specific rate of women subjected to physical violence during lifetime by severity of violence, relationship to the perpetrator and frequency

  17. Findings Total and age specific rate of women subjected to sexual violence in the last 12 months by severity of violence, relationship to the perpetrator and frequency

  20. Review conclusions • Statistics for only one indicator – physical violence against women in their lifetime – available in 80% of surveys • Short classification of relationship to the perpetrator • Lack of the availability of total rates – requires further technical analysis • Clearly points to the need to establish methodological standards and develop as universal as possible classifications of violence, severity of violence, relationship to the perpetrators and frequency • Developing guidelines
