Resumen
Descripción
Around the world, at least one out of
three women is beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused
during their lifetime. Women are most at risk to suffer
violence at home and from men they know, usually a family
member, intimate partner or spouse. A comprehensive analysis
of domestic violence in nine developing countries based on
Demographic and Health Surveys shows that more than 40
percent of women reported being victims of spousal or
intimate partner abuse. The analysis also demonstrates that
domestic violence directly impacts the health and well-being
of abused women. An example of this is that infant and
mortality rates are higher among women who have been victims
of violence than those who have not experienced any form of violence.
