Indicator 36: The statistics provide information in terms of type of VAWG, severity and frequency, characteristics of victims

Accurate and precise statistics on VAWG by type, severity and frequency are necessary not only for decision-makers, which allows them to readjust laws and mechanisms based on the obtained results, but also for civil society actors because it allows them to make this violence more visible, and translate the data obtained into stories of broken lives and thus to make the necessary advocacy to change, amend and remove discriminatory laws and ensure better implementation of laws, while making sure that they are respected by all. This is also essential to changing social attitudes towards victims. The information gathered shows that the index countries have only partial statistics in this field which are not detailed in terms of severity and frequency.
