Violence Against Women in Latin America and the Caribbean: A comparative analysis of population-based data from 12 countries

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) takes many forms and is endemic throughout Africa and much of the world. In response to this situation, in 2008 UN Secretary- General, Ban Ki-moon, established the UNiTE Campaign to end this violence. UN Women took the lead in Africa with the Africa-UNiTE Campaign. Africa-Unite’s goals are to: ensure that national laws are in place and enforced; promote adoption of national plans; institutionalize data collection; launch campaigns; address sexual violence in conflict situations; and promote the creation of safe public spaces for women and girls. UN Women contracted with the Population Council to establish a baseline measure to evaluate this campaign and provide information to help program the campaign’s priorities, resources and activities.
