The survey collected comparable data on the prevalence of
different forms of violence against women perpetrated by
partners and non-partners and examined the prevalence
of violence against women in conflict-affected contexts,
deepening the understanding of how violence against women
is related to conflict. Data was also collected on the persisting
attitudes and reasons for not reporting incidents to the police,
as well as the satisfaction of women who have experienced
violence with the support or response they received from the
police.
The research showed that gaps continue in the ability of
institutions to understand and address women and girls’
experiences of personal insecurity and violence. It also
demonstrated that attitudes that silence women and protect
abusers persist at disturbingly high rates. In 2019, the project
will focus on disseminating results to a broader local and
international audience.
At the OSCE National Action Plan Academy in Vienna, 19-20
April 2018, participants from Turkmenistan explore ways how
to enhance the implementation of the women, peace and
security agenda. (OSCE/Gender Section)
