Weight for Domestic Violence |
Numerator divided by denominator multiplied by 100.
Women with missing information on one or more of the questions used for the indicator are included in the denominator but not the numerator.
Ever-married women include women who have ever had a partner who they lived with as-if married.
The indicator for intimate partner physical violence or sexual violence or emotional violence in the past 12 months corresponds to the SDG indicator 5.2.1.
In about 2010-11, separate questions were added for women married more than once that ask specifically about their experience of physical violence and of sexual violence by any previous husband/partner. Before this addition, physical violence and sexual violence by a previous husband/partner could only be reported in response to more general questions on women’s experience of physical violence and of sexual violence by anyone other than the current husband/partner. A separate question on emotional violence by any previous husband/partner was added to the module only in 2017.
From 2021, the questions on what used to be called spousal emotional violence are also asked of never-married women who report an intimate partner. Hence the labeling of the violence variables is no longer spousal emotional violence but intimate partner emotional violence.
