Indicator 35: Public statistics exist on all forms of VAWG, including the rate of unreported cases

The existence of accurate statistical data on the various forms of VAWG, especially on the rate of violence, is extremely important for the monitoring and evaluation of laws and mechanisms put in place to combat VAWG. This type of data is generally not available in the index countries. Statistics in this area are insufficiently detailed, and not updated by the relevant bodies (National Agencies for Statistics). Therefore, it is difficult to get a clear idea of the evolution of this type of violence or of the rate of violence that goes unreported.
