The number of women who have stated that they have been subjected to physical violence or forced intercourse within the last 12 months in proportion to all women. The indicator differs from the UN definition as follows: 1) The indicator includes women aged 16-74 at the interview time. UN definition is 15 years or older. 2) When calculating the indicator, the denominator is composed of all women aged 16-74, regardless of whether they have / have been in a relationship. The UN's definition is that the denominator must be all women who have / have been in a relationship. 3) The indicator includes women who have stated that they have been subjected to physical violence or forced intercourse. The UN definition also includes women who have been exposed to psychological violence and other forms of sexual violence than forced intercourse. From 2020 the indicator includes women who have been exposed to psychological violence and other forms of sexual violence than forced intercourse. The figures from before 2020, therefore, cannot be directly compared to those from 2020 or later.
