AB  - 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.
