WHAT ARE THE STATISTICS?

        According to World Health Organization (2021), nearly 1 in 3, or 30% of women, have experienced physical and/or sexual violence worldwide. Moreover, over a quarter of women aged 15-49 have been physically and/or sexually violated by their intimate partners at least once. In Western Pacific, lifetime intimate partner violence prevalence estimates range from 20%. Meanwhile, 22% are in high-income countries and Europe, 25% in Regions of the Americas, 33% in the African region, 31% in the Eastern Mediterranean region, and 33% in the South-East Asia region. 

           In addition to this, it is reported that 38% of all murders of women are committed by their intimate partners. Furthermore, 6% of women worldwide report that they have been sexually assaulted by someone who is not their partner.
