Checklist for ensuring the quality of violence against women surveys

This checklist, produced as part of the UN Women–WHO Global Joint Programme on Violence Against Women Data, is designed to help national statistics offices and other national research and data institutions and research teams to think through the steps needed to produce high-quality survey data on intimate partner violence—from the planning stages through analysis, report write-up, and dissemination of accurately interpreted findings. This checklist is meant to be used by teams planning dedicated surveys on violence against women as well as surveys with a module on violence against women within a larger survey, as in the Demographic and Health Surveys. Funders and other organizations commissioning surveys on violence against women may also find this checklist useful to inform their work.
