Weight for Domestic Violence |
Women who have ever been pregnant were asked if during any of their pregnancies anyone had ever hit, slapped, kicked or done anything else to hurt them physically. The number of women who say “yes” to this question as a proportion of those who have ever been pregnant multiplied by 100.
Women with missing information on violence during pregnancy are included in the denominator but not the numerator.
This indicator includes information only on physical violence during pregnancy.
There have been no changes over time in this variable.
