Proposal Description

In this session, speakers from International Organizations and National Statistical Offices will exhibit new advances on measuring violence against women and the lessons from the post-covid. They will show the use of different statistical methods to collect and produce data to provide a better understanding of the nature, magnitude, and consequences of violence against women and girls from global, regional, and local perspectives.
This session will contribute with different examples to achieve sustainable development by eliminating violence against women and how the use and value of data is relevant for decision making efforts to close data gaps.
Some of the examples are the experiences of countries applying the guidelines for producing statistics on violence against women, the international classification of crime for statistical purposes, and the statistical framework for measuring the gender-related killing of women and girls (also referred to as “femicide/feminicide”).
