This 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 against women. The manual focuses primarily on the issue of violence against women by their intimate partners.
The manual 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.
The manual is aimed at anyone interested in the application of social science and public health research methods to the study of gender-based violence. It is designed for researchers who want to know more about adapting traditional research techniques to the special case of investigating physical and sexual abuse. And it is designed for activists, community workers, and service providers who want to become conversant in methodological issues.
