• Developing and testing a survey module on violence against women

The aim of the module is to enable countries to collect a minimum set of information to measure the prevalence of physical, sexual and intimate partner violence. This initiative emerged from discussions at the joint UNDAW/UNECE/UNSD Expert Group Meeting on Indicators to Measure Violence against Women (Geneva, 8-10 October 2007).

The proposed questionnaire and methodology were discussed at the first UNECE Expert Group Meeting on Measuring Violence against Women (Geneva, 28-30 September 2009) and the testing results in the second Expert Group Meeting (Geneva, 18-19 November 2010).
