The document outlines 8 UN core indicators for tracking violence against women (VAW). The indicators measure the total and age-specific rates of women subjected to physical, sexual, and psychological violence in the last 12 months and lifetime by the severity, relationship to perpetrator, and frequency. The indicators also measure rates of economic violence, female genital mutilation, and violence by current or former intimate partners. Denominators for the indicators include all women or ever-partnered women depending on the specific indicator.
