Abstract:
This manual, written by Mary Ellsberg and Lori
Heise from PATH, is a co-publication of PATH and WHO. It draws on the collective
experiences and insights of many individuals, and in particular from the
implementation of the WHO Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic
Violence against Women in over 10 countries. Twenty years ago, violence against
women was not considered an issue worthy of international concern. Gradually,
violence against women has come to be recognized as a legitimate human rights
issue and as a significant threat to women’s health and well-being. Now that
international attention is focused on gender-based violence, methodologically
rigorous research is needed to guide the formulation and implementation of
effective interventions, policies, and prevention strategies. The manual has
been developed in response to the growing need to improve the quality, quantity,
and comparability of international data on physical and sexual abuse. It
outlines some of the methodological and ethical challenges of conducting
research on violence against women and describes a range of innovative
techniques that have been used to address these challenges.
