Violence against Women Prevalence Data: Surveys by Country
This resource presents a matrix with data available for 86 countries on the prevalence of physical and sexual violence against women, forced sexual initiation and abuse during pregnancy. It includes data for both lifetime and past-year prevalence, perpetrated by intimate and/or non-intimate partners. The data is drawn from leading international surveys: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Reproductive Health Surveys, Demographic and Health Surveys, Violence against Women Surveys and the World Health Organization Multi-Country Study. Other population-based surveys publicly available through March 2011 were used for countries with no internationally comparable survey.
