Proportion of Ever Partnered Women and Girls Subjected To Physical and Sexual Violence By A Current Or Former Intimate Partner In The Previous 12 Months

This table provides data on the percentage of women and girls who have experienced physical or sexual violence from a current or former intimate partner within the past 12 months. Gender-based violence is a critical issue that intersects with both gender inequality and climate vulnerability. Women and girls subjected to intimate partner violence often face greater social and economic marginalization, which can limit their capacity to cope with the effects of climate change. In regions prone to climate-related disasters, survivors of violence may struggle to access support services or resources that are essential for recovery and resilience. This data is crucial for understanding the compounded vulnerabilities women face, and it highlights the need for integrated strategies that address both gender-based violence and climate resilience to ensure equitable and sustainable responses to environmental challenges.
