Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 4 Required classifications for the indicators  1-4: severity  1-4: relationship to perpetrator  1-6: frequency Denominators  1-4: all women  5-8: ever partnered

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 5 Criteria that were considered for draft module  Initial set of indicators should be addressed (as a minimum)  Building on instruments that have been well tested and validated across cultures  Enabling comparative results (also with surveys already done)

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 6 Process of development module  Draft module building on WHO study on VAW and using experiences from many countries  Draft survey module (incl. framework for analysis) and testing strategy discussed at Expert Group Meeting on Measuring Violence against women (Geneva Sept 2009)  Module modified subsequently  Friends of Chair meeting (Mexico Dec 2009): 2 new indicators  2010: testing of module

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 7 Structure of proposed module  Questions on demographic characteristics of respondent (besides age in particular partnership status and partnership history)  Questions on partner violence  Questions on violence by others  Two versions

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 8 INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 9 Intimate Partner violence: 2 sets of questions  A) Questions for current or most recent partner  B) Questions for any other previous partner Acts of controlling behaviour Acts of economic violence Acts of emotional abuse Acts of physical violence Acts of sexual violence 9

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 10 Measurement of controlling behaviour by partner  He tries to keep you from seeing your friends?  He tries to restrict contact with your family of birth?  He insists on knowing where you are at all times?  He ignores you and treats you indifferently?  He gets angry if you speak with another man?  He is often suspicious that you are unfaithful?  He expects you to ask his permission before seeking health care for yourself? 10

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 11 Measurement of economic abuse by partner  He refuses to give you enough money for household expenses, even when he has money for other things?  [other questions if applicable] 11

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 12 Measurement of emotional violence by partner  Insulted you or made you feel bad about yourself?  Belittled or humiliated you in front of other people?  Done things to scare or intimidate you on purpose (e.g. by the way he looked at you, by yelling and smashing things)?  Verbally threatened to hurt you or someone you care about?

Did you ever have sexual intercourse you did not want because you were afraid of what he might do? Ever force you to do something sexual that you did not want or that you found degrading or humiliating?

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 15 Reference period  For each of the acts of emotional, physical and sexual violence: past 12 months before the past 12 months (to be combined for lifetime prevalence)

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 16 Frequency  For acts of emotional, physical and sexual violence, and for both past 12 months and before past 12 months: Once, few, many times In test module for events of physical and sexual violence in the past 12 months:  1) daily, weekly, monthly, less than 1/month  2) estimated absolute count

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 17 Severity For physical partner violence and sexual partner violence: nature of act Injuries as direct effect of any physical or sexual violence (asking for specific injuries) Miscarriage as direct effect Self reported impact on physical or mental wellbeing Are you ever afraid of partner (never, sometimes, many times, all the time)

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 18  Partner violence questions are separately asked for current or most recent partner any previous partner(s)  Type of relationship with partner (married, living together, dating) is collected for the previous partners who were violent for each set of controlling behaviours, emotional, physical and sexual violence Type of partner relationship

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 19 Non-reporting of violence (‘hidden violence’)  One question at the end -- referring to any type of partner violence reported: “Who have you told about your (previous) partner’s behaviour?” (pre-coded list)

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 20 VIOLENCE BY OTHERS THAN PARTNERS

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 21 Measurement of physical violence by others than partners  Since the age of 15, has anyone ever hit, beaten, kicked or done anything else to hurt you physically? Threw something at you? Pushed you or pulled your hair? Choked or burnt you on purpose? Threatened with or actually used a gun, knife or other weapon against you?  PROBE: Anyone else? How about a relative? How about someone at school or work? How about a friend or neighbour? A stranger or anyone else?

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 22 Perpetrators, reference period and severity  Pre-coded list of perpetrators  For each of the perpetrators mentioned:  How many times did this happen since you were 15 y: once, few, many  How many times did this happen in the past 12 months: once, few, many  For the each of (max 3) most serious perpetrators: 3 questions on injuries

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide Measurement of sexual violence by others than partners – Rape  Since the age of 15, has anyone ever forced you into sexual intercourse when you did not want to for example by threatening you, holding you down or putting you in a situation that you could not say no. Remember to include people you have known as well as strangers. Please at this point exclude attempts to force you.  Who did this to you? (followed by probes)

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide Measurement of other forms of sexual violence by others  Since the age of 15, has anyone attempted to force you into a sexual act you did not want, attempted to force you into sexual intercourse (which did not take place), touched you sexually, or did anything else sexually that you did not want.

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 25 Perpetrators and reference period sexual violence (both sets)  Pre-coded list of perpetrators (including sex of the perpetrator)  For each of the perpetrators mentioned: How many times did this happen since you were 15: once, few, many How many times did this happen in the past 12 months: once, few, many

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 26 ETHICAL AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 27  Challenges of ensuring data quality and respondent safety are often greater when VAW module is incorporated in surveys on other topics compared to in specialized (dedicated) surveys in VAW

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 28 Minimum conditions for using a short module  Measures to protect safety of respondents and interviewers  Crisis intervention and referrals to specialized services for respondents who need this  Special training and emotional support and follow-up for interviewers

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 29 Reinforcement of informed consent “Now I would like to ask you questions about some other important aspects of a woman’s life. Some of the topics may be difficult to discuss, but many women have found it useful to have the opportunity to talk. You do not have to answer any questions that you do not want to. I want to assure you that all of your answers will be kept strictly secret and will not be told to anyone. And no one else will know that you were asked these questions.

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 30 Confidentiality and safety  It’s very important that we talk in private. Is this a good place to hold the interview, or is there somewhere else that you would like to go?”  “If anyone interrupts us I will change the topic of conversation.”

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 31 Framing of questions  “When two people marry or live together [have a relationship], they usually share both good and bad moments. I would now like to ask you some questions about how your current (or most recent) husband / partner treats (treated) you.”

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 32 ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS AND TESTING STRATEGY

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 33 Accompanying materials  Question by question explanation of the module  Training program for interviewers  Interviewer manual including ethical and safety measure  Code book and analysis plan for the VAW indicators

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 34 Testing strategy  Countries involved (incl.FoC)  Type of vehicle survey  Selection of eligible women for the module  Testing may include module as stand alone survey to validate effectiveness  Testing of two versions of module  Sample size  Training of interviewers  Timeline/activities for testing, including feedback

Henrica A.F.M. Jansen Slide 35 Final considerations  Module cannot be (much) longer when it is an add-on module (else better conduct dedicated VAW survey).  Module not suited for deeper understanding of violence  Issues around underreporting/comparability  Issues of safety and ethics  Outcomes of development and testing of module to inform further development of VAW indicators and guidelines
