The launch of first ever WHO global study on domestic violence against women
The WHO Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence against Women
It is a landmark study, both in its scope and in how it was carried out. The report shows that violence against women is widespread with far-reaching health consequences. It calls on governments to take concerted action and makes recommendations for the health, education and criminal justice sectors to take the problem seriously.
The new report includes data from over 24,000 women interviewed in 15 sites in 10 countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, Japan, Peru, Namibia, Samoa, Serbia and Montenegro, Thailand, and the United Republic of Tanzania.
