Weight for Domestic Violence |
Numerator divided by denominator multiplied by 100.
“Don’t know” and missing responses to the timing when women first experienced physical or sexual violence committed by their current husband/partner are not considered as being before the specified exact durations of marriage and are included in the denominator but excluded from the numerators.
In DHS-8, the question on when the first experience of violence occurred perpetrated by the husband was removed. This indicator is no longer tabulated.
