Numerator divided by denominator, multiplied by 100.
Women with missing information on types of injuries are included in the denominator but not in the numerator.
Experience of injuries can be calculated by type of intimate partner violence experienced and by whether the violence took place ever and in the past 12 months.
The questions on injuries were substantially modified in 2005; thus, data on injuries from earlier surveys are not strictly comparable with data from later surveys.
Also, since only women who say “yes” to the experience of physical or sexual violence by the most recent intimate partner are asked the questions on injuries experienced as a result of the violence and changes to those questions affects the eligibility for the questions on injuries. See also Changes over Time for the indicators Intimate partner Physical Violence and Intimate partner Sexual Violence to see how eligibility for this question may have changed over time.
As always, when making comparisons over time, users are strongly advised to check the questions used in each survey.
