“……The report, developed by the World Health Organization, the London
School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the South African Medical
Research Council, presents the first global systematic review of scientific
data on the prevalence of two forms of violence against women: violence by
an intimate partner (intimate partner violence) and sexual violence by
someone other than a partner (non-partner sexual violence).
****
It shows, for the first time, global and regional estimates of the
prevalence of these two forms of violence, using data from around the
world. Previous reporting on violence against women has not differentiated
between partner- and nonpartner violence.
****
The report details the effects of partner and non-partner sexual violence
on several aspects of women’s health. It shows that women who have
experienced intimate partner violence have higher rates of depression, HIV,
injury and death, and are more likely to have low birth weight babies, than
those who haven’t. Though research on the health effects of non-partner
sexual violence is more limited, the evidence clearly shows that sexual
violence has both long- and short-term debilitating effects on women’s
mental health and well-being…..”
