UNECE is developing and testing a survey module on violence against women, as part of a United Nations Development Account project on the eradication of violence against women.
The aim of the module is to enable countries to collect a minimum set of information to measure the prevalence of physical, sexual and intimate partner violence. This initiative emerged from discussions at the joint UNDAW/UNECE/UNSD Expert Group Meeting on Indicators to Measure Violence against Women (Geneva, 8-10 October 2007).
