Definition and concepts (STAT_CONC_DEF) Definition: This indicator measures the percentage of ever-partnered women and girls aged 15 years and older who have been subjected to physical, sexual, or psychological violence by a current or former intimate partner, in the previous 12 months. The definition of violence against women and girls (VAWG) and the forms of violence specified under this indicator are presented in the next section (Concepts).
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
NOTE: References to “violence against women” (VAW) throughout also include adolescent girls (15-19 years old). Concepts: 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.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
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 the full definition: https://undocs.org/en/A/RES/48/104 Intimate partner violence (IPV) 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.

https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
The different forms of violence included in the indicator are defined as follows: 1. Physical violence consists of acts aimed at physically hurting the victim and include, but are not limited to acts like pushing, grabbing, twisting the arm, pulling hair, slapping, kicking, biting, hitting with a fist or object, trying to strangle or suffocate, burning or scalding on purpose, or threatening or attacking with some sort of weapon, gun or knife. 2.

https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
2. Sexual violence is defined as any sort of harmful or unwanted sexual behaviour that is imposed on someone, whether by use of physical force, intimidation, or coercion. It includes acts of abusive sexual contact, forced sexual acts, attempted or completed sexual acts (intercourse) without consent (rape or attempted rape), non-contact acts such as being forced to watch or participate in pornography, etc.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
In intimate partner relationships, sexual violence is commonly operationally defined in surveys as being physically forced to have sexual intercourse, having sexual intercourse out of fear for what the partner might do or through coercion, and/or being forced to do something sexual that the woman considers humiliating or degrading. 3. Psychological violence consists of any act that induces fear or emotional distress.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
It includes a range of behaviours that encompass acts of emotional abuse such as being frequently humiliated in public, intimidated or having things you care for destroyed, etc. These often coexist with acts of physical and Last updated: 2022-03-31 sexual violence by intimate partners. In addition, surveys often measure controlling behaviours (e.g., being kept from seeing family or friends, or from seeking health care without permission).
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
These are also considered acts of psychological abuse, although usually measured separately. . For a more detailed definition of physical, sexual, and psychological violence against women, see Guidelines for Producing Statistics on Violence against Women- Statistical Surveys (UN, 2014), and the International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes ICCS (UNODC, 2015), and Violence against Women Prevalence Estimates, 2018.

Survey measurement, should be guided by these international standards and documentation should report on all of the above to allow for an overall assessment of data quality. However, to date, individual studies and surveys use different measures, methodologies and reporting standards. This makes it challenging to compare the prevalence across studies and requires the use of adjusted estimates for international comparability (see section 4b). 3.

The strategy seeks to expand the scope and quality of modern census and registry data, increase the use of geo-referenced population data to accelerate progress towards the SDGs, and advance the objectives of its mandate. The agency provides census technical support to more than 125 countries, through strong partnerships with governments, UN country teams, the US Census Bureau, and the population and data sectors worldwide.

Census data provide the denominators for computation of many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a basis for weights when calculating regional and global aggregates of various indicators, including SDGs. 4. Other methodological considerations (OTHER_METHOD) 4.a. Rationale (RATIONALE) Intimate partner violence is one of the most common forms of violence that women face globally.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Given prevailing social norms that sanction male dominance over women, male violence towards their female intimate partners is often perceived as an ordinary/normal element of relationships in the context of marriage or other unions/relationships. Violence against women is an extreme manifestation of gender inequality and discrimination.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Prevalence data are required to measure the magnitude of the problem; understand the various forms of violence and their consequences; identify groups at high risk and explore the barriers to seeking help to ensure that the appropriate responses are being provided. These data are the starting point for informing laws, policies and developing effective responses and prevention programs.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
They also allow countries to monitor change over time and optimally target resources to maximize the effectiveness of interventions (especially in resource-constrained settings). 4.b. Comment and limitations (REC_USE_LIM) Comparability: The availability of comparable data remains a challenge in this area as many data collection efforts have relied on different survey methodologies, or used different definitions of partner or spousal violence and recall periods (e.g., different definitions of “lifetime”).
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Many survey measures and/or reports lack disaggregation by different forms of intimate partner violence (physical, sexual, psychological). There are often differences in survey question formulations and/or denominators e.g. all women [various age ranges], or only ever-married/partnered or currently married/partnered women). There is also heterogeneity in age groups sampled and reported on. The quality of interviewer training also likely varies, although this is difficult to quantify.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Willingness to discuss experiences of violence and understanding of relevant concepts may also differ according to how the survey is implemented and the social/cultural context, and this can affect reported prevalence levels. Given the wide variations in methodologies, measurement, and quality across studies from different countries, statistically adjusted estimates are currently needed to ensure comparability across countries and regions.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
However, generating estimates is an interim solution and individual countries need to collect robust, internationally comparable, high-quality data that reflect the relevant socio-economic, political and cultural risk, and protective factors associated with the prevalence of violence against women (VAW) to inform appropriate policy responses and programmatic decision-making.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
As more countries adopt Last updated: 2022-03-31 international recommendations and guidelines, including the key elements described in this document, the need for adjustments for estimates for global monitoring will be greatly reduced. Regularity of data production: Since 2000, only about 78 countries have conducted more than one survey on VAW. Obtaining data on VAW is a costly and time-consuming exercise, whether they are obtained through stand-alone dedicated surveys or modules in other surveys.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), the main source of data for low- and lower-middle Income Countries (LMICs), are conducted every 5 years or so and dedicated surveys, if repeated, are conducted usually with less periodicity than this. Monitoring this indicator with certain periodicity may be a challenge if sustained capacities are not built and financial resources are not available for regular surveys.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
At the same time prevalence is unlikely to change from year to year so, depending on resources, every 3-5 years is recommended. Feasibility: This indicator calls for global reporting on three types of intimate partner violence (IPV): physical, sexual, and psychological. While there is global consensus on how physical and sexual IPV are generally defined and measured, psychological partner violence—is conceptualized differently across cultures and in different contexts.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
This indicator therefore currently reports on physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence only. Efforts are underway by custodian agencies to develop a global standard for measuring and reporting psychological IPV. This will enable reporting on the three stipulated types of partner violence in the future. Similarly, this indicator calls for global reporting of violence ever-partnered women aged 15 years and above have been subjected to.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Most data come from DHS, which typically sample only women aged 15- 49, and there is a lack of consistency in the age range of sample populations across other country surveys. For those surveys that interview a sample of women from a different age group, the prevalence for the 15-49 age group is often published or can be calculated from available data. The global indicator therefore currently reports on both violence ever-partnered women 15-49 years of age and 15 years and older have been subjected to.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Given the existing limited data availability on violence against women aged 50 years and older, efforts are underway by the custodian agencies to improve the measurement and encourage increased availability of data for women of this age group. This will enable a better estimation of the extent of this problem and understanding the experiences of partner violence for women over 50. 4.c. Method of computation (DATA_COMP) This indicator calls for breakdown by form of violence and by age group.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
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.

https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
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.

Last updated: 2022-03-31 3. Psychological intimate partner violence: Number of ever-partnered women (aged 15 years and above) subjected to psychological 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. 4.

4. 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. 5.

5. Any form of physical, sexual and/or psychological intimate partner violence: Number of ever-partnered women (aged 15 years and above) subjected to any act of physical, sexual and/or psychological 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.

NOTE: To assist comparability at the regional and global level, and due to more comparable data available, countries are encouraged to additionally compute the above figures for ever-partnered women aged 15 to 49. Regional and global reporting on this indicator currently only includes data computed by countries for #4 above (i.e., any form of physical and/or sexual partner violence), and for both the 15-49 and the 15 years and older age groups). For further details, see Feasibility section above. 4.d.

4.d. Validation (DATA_VALIDATION) A country consultation on the intimate partner violence (IPV) estimates was conducted in early 2020. All countries received their country profile which included their data sources, estimate, and a technical note explaining the methodology (available in six official languages).
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
The consultations ensured: i) countries had the opportunity to review their nationally modeled IPV estimate and the data sources (surveys/studies) used in the production of these estimates, ii) the identification of any additional surveys/studies that met the inclusion criteria (i.e published between 2000-2018, used acts-based measures of IPV, nationally or subnationally representative) but which may not have been previously identified; and iii) familiarize countries with the statistical modeling approach used to derive the global, regional, and national estimates.

4.e. Adjustments (ADJUSTMENT) There have been significant improvements in the measurement, availability, and quality of population- based survey data on intimate partner violence (IPV) globally. However, substantial heterogeneity remains in how national surveys and studies measure the different forms of intimate partner violence against women (VAW). For international comparability, data are statistically adjusted to ensure harmonization concerning: definitions (e.g.

severity); age groupings (5 year age groups and aggregate 15 to 49 or 15 years and above), type of IPV (physical IPV only or sexual IPV only), the perpetrator of partner violence (spouse only or spouse/partner; current or most recent spouse/partner only or any current or previous spouse/partner), sample profile (ever-married/partnered women or currently- married/partnered women or all women) and geographical scope (national or sub-national, rural, urban). 4.f.

4.f. Treatment of missing values (i) at country level and (ii) at regional level (IMPUTATION) At country level • When data for a country are entirely missing, no country-level estimate is published. Last updated: 2022-03-31 At regional and global levels • Imputations are made in cases where country data are not available for the purposes of regional and global figures. The number of countries included in the average and with data available is clearly indicated by SDG region. 4.g.

https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
4.g. Regional aggregations (REG_AGG) Global aggregates are weighted averages of all the countries that make up the world. Regional aggregates are weighted averages of all the countries within the region. Weights used are the population of women aged 15 to 49 from the most recent 2019 revision of the World Population Prospects. Where data are not available for all countries in any given region, regional aggregates may still be calculated. The number of countries included in the average is indicated.

https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
It should be noted that regional and global figures should be interpreted with caution, as they do not necessarily represent with accuracy the region or world, especially for regions where population coverage is below 50 percent. Custodian agencies, in consultation with the Member States, have produced-to-date global, regional, and country estimates, enhancing the quality and accuracy of 5.2.1 reporting and addressing the comparability challenges outlined above.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
These new regional and global estimates (2018) are included in this round and form a baseline for the monitoring of progress. These are also available for World Bank, Global Burden of Disease and individual agency regions. 4.h.

https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
4.h. Methods and guidance available to countries for the compilation of the data at the national level (DOC_METHOD) Countries gather data on intimate partner violence (IPV) through (1) specialized national prevalence surveys dedicated to measuring violence against women (VAW), (2) VAW modules that are added to international/national household surveys, such as the DHS; and (3) crime victimization surveys.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Although administrative data from health, police, courts, justice, and social services, among other services used by survivors of violence, can provide information on VAW, these do not provide prevalence data, but rather incidence data or service use (i.e., number of cases received in/who seek services). Many women who are subjected to abuse do not report or seek help for the violence and those who do, tend to be the most serious cases.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Therefore, administrative data are not recommended as a data source for this indicator. For more information on recommended practices in the production of VAW statistics, see UN Guidelines for Producing Statistics on Violence against Women- Statistical Surveys (UN, 2014). The WHO with other co-custodians are finalizing a “Quality checklist for surveys on IPV against women” as a tool for strengthening country capacity in collecting and reporting high-quality data on violence against women. 4.i.

4.i. Quality management (QUALITY_MGMNT) The identification of surveys and entering of data in the database was independently checked by 2 or 3 people and consistency checks were carried out by 2 analysts. The estimates followed the Guidelines for Accurate and Transparent Health Estimates Reporting (GATHER) and were reviewed by WHO’s Data Department and reviewed by the other co-custodians.

Last updated: 2022-03-31 4.j Quality assurance (QUALITY_ASSURE) The Interagency Working Group on Violence against Women Data, which comprises all custodian agencies for this SDG indicator, thoroughly reviews all country data, including its primary source when deemed necessary, to assess quality and comparability based on exclusion/inclusion criteria agreed upon a priori. These criteria refer to, inter-alia, survey population coverage, operational definitions, methodology, and period.

All data points have been discussed and a consensual decision made for every data point included/excluded from the current SDG Indicators Database. In 2020, a country consultation and validation process of data compiled by custodian agencies for this indicator was undertaken, including with identified SDG indicators focal points and focal points in other relevant ministries.

4.k Quality assessment (QUALITY_ASSMNT) The e estimates on physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence against women were based on the Global Database on the Prevalence of Violence against Women (housed at WHO). Studies included within this database were identified through a comprehensive systematic review of published global prevalence data, metadata repositories of national statistics offices and through the country consultation process as explained below.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Informed by international guidelines on the survey measurement of violence against women, including the Guidelines for Producing Statistics on Violence against Women- Statistical Surveys (UN, 2014) only population-based studies, representative at national or subnational level that used the ‘gold standard’ act-specific measures of IPV were eligible for inclusion.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
This criterion aimed to minimise the under- estimation of the prevalence of IPV that is associated with the use of broader non-acts-based measures. Data extractions were conducted by two data analysts independently and underwent additional quality control and rigorous consistency checks by a third reviewer.

The United Nations Inter-Agency Working Group on Violence Against Women Estimation and Data (VAW- IAWGED) guided the process of developing the estimates and reviewed the Technical Note for the country consultation and published estimates’ report. The independent external Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to the VAW-IAWGED provided expert advice and input throughout the process of developing the methodology and the estimates.

https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
In addition to the above, and in line with WHO’s quality standards for data production and publication a formal country consultation process was conducted with 194 Member States and one territory (occupied Palestinian territory).
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
The purpose this consultation process was to (i) to ensure that countries had the opportunity to review their national modelled intimate partner violence estimates and the data sources (surveys/studies) used in the production of these estimates; (ii) to ensure the inclusion of any additional surveys/studies that met these inclusion criteria but not been previously identified; and (iii) to familiarize countries with the statistical modelling approach used to derive the global, regional and national estimates.

5. Data availability and disaggregation (COVERAGE) Data availability: Last updated: 2022-03-31 Since 2000, 161 countries have conducted violence against women (VAW) national or subnational prevalence surveys or have included a module on VAW in a DHS or other national household surveys. However, not all these data are comparable and in many cases, they are not collected on a regular basis.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Time series: Some countries (~77) have data on physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence for two or more time points. Global time series with comparable data are not yet available.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Disaggregation: In addition to form of violence and age, income/wealth, education, ethnicity (including indigenous status), disability status, marital/partnership status, relationship with the perpetrator (i.e., current/former partner), geographic location, migration status, and frequency of violence are suggested as desired variables for disaggregation for this indicator.
https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1696769087185.pdf
https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/files/Metadata-05-02-01.pdf
Though disaggregated data by these variables is not yet feasible to report on at regional and global levels, countries are encouraged to report these levels of disaggregation in their national reports; and—whenever possible—include these data for the age group 15 to 49. 6.

6. Comparability / deviation from international standards (COMPARABILITY) Sources of discrepancies: All available survey data sources that are representative at the national and subnational level, are used to generate the prevalence estimates. The data are from published survey reports and/or data and datasets provided by countries.

In cases where only data disaggregated by violence type were presented in the report, microdata was used to calculate the aggregate measure of physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence (IPV). As there is variability in the measurement across surveys and countries, relevant covariate adjustments were made to enhance comparability. These include adjustments for case definitions (e.g. severity), type of violence (i.e. physical IPV only or sexual IPV only), population surveyed (e.g.
