• Prevention work at the national and local levels
• Routine screening in health and other settings for early identification, and extent to
which it covers all forms of violence against women
• Evaluation of promising practices and the extent to which they are mainstreamed
• Resources allocated to violence against women as part of national and local budgets,
including to research
• Whether vulnerable, marginalized and isolated groups of women and girls have equal
access to support and justice
Proposed indicators
90. The basic process indicator will be case attrition - the proportion of reported cases that fail
to result in any form of sanction for the perpetrator. This requires tracking of reporting,
prosecution and conviction rates on a year-by-year basis.
91. Increasing reporting rates can be seen to indicate decreased tolerance and increased
exercise of the right to redress by women. They also might show improved recording, if there is
minimal mismatch between recorded crimes and data on reporting collected in prevalence
studies.
92. Prosecution rates should not only mirror increases in reporting, but also increase if legal
and procedural reforms are having the desired impact.
93. Conviction rates should, similarly, stay at minimum constant and increase if procedural
reforms are effective. They should not be lower than for other crimes, especially since, in many
cases, the identity of the perpetrator is known.
94.
The indicators are:
• Increased reporting rates (measured by administrative data from the criminal justice
system)
1.
Increased reporting of all forms of violence against women
2.
Increased reporting of most forms
3.
Increased reporting of some forms
4.
Flat rates reporting of some forms
5.
Flat rates of reporting of most forms
