Definition
Percentage of ever-partnered women and girls aged 15-49 who have experienced physical, sexual or psychological violence by a current or former intimate partner, in the previous 12 months.
According to the UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women (1993), violence against women is “Any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life. Violence against women shall be understood to encompass, but not be limited to, the following: Physical, sexual and psychological violence occurring in the family […]”. See here for full definition: https://undocs.org/en/A/RES/48/104. Intimate partner violence against women includes any abuse perpetrated by a current or former partner within the context of marriage, cohabitation or any other formal or informal union.
Method of Calculation
Countries are encouraged to compute prevalence data for each form of violence as detailed below to assist comparability at the regional and global levels:
1. Physical intimate partner violence:
Number of ever-partnered women (aged 15 years and above) subjected to any act of physical violence by a current or former intimate partner in the previous 12 months divided by the number of ever-partnered women and girls (aged 15 years and above) in the population multiplied by 100 .
2. Sexual intimate partner violence:
Number of ever-partnered women (aged 15 years and above) subjected to any act of sexual violence by a current or former intimate partner in the previous 12 months divided by the number of ever-partnered women (aged 15 years and above) in the population multiplied by 100.
3. Any form of physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence:
Number of ever-partnered women (aged 15 years and above) who experience physical and/or sexual violence by a current or former intimate partner in the previous 12 months divided by the number of ever-partnered women (aged 15 years and above) multiplied by 100.
Data source specific method of calculation:
DHS:
Numerator:
One or more of the specified acts of spousal physical violence or one or more of the specified acts of spousal sexual violence.
Denominator:
Number of ever-married women aged 15 to 49 years selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module.
Calculation:
Numerators divided by denominator, multiplied by 100.
