对妇女的暴力行为是严重的侵犯人权和公共卫生问题。尽管越来越多的证据表明问题的严重性，但目前的证据主要来自工业化背景，而且方法上的差异限制了研究之间进行比较的程度。我们的目的是估计孟加拉国、巴西、埃塞俄比亚、日本、纳米比亚、秘鲁、萨摩亚、塞尔维亚和黑山、泰国和坦桑尼亚联合共和国等10个国家15个地点对妇女的身体和性亲密伴侣暴力的程度。方法2000 ~ 2003年进行标准化人口入户调查。对年龄在15-49岁之间的女性进行了采访，对那些曾经有过男性伴侣的女性进行了私下询问，询问她们遭受身体、性暴力和情感虐待的经历。24097名女性完成了访谈，每个网站约有1500名受访者。报告的终生身体暴力或性伴侣暴力发生率，或两者兼而有之，从15%到71%不等，其中2个地点的发生率低于25%，7个地点在25%至50%之间，6个地点在50%至75%之间。4%至54%的受访者表示在过去一年中遭受过身体暴力或性伴侣暴力，或两者兼而有之。控制欲强的男性更有可能对伴侣使用暴力。除一种情况外，在所有情况下，女性遭受伴侣身体暴力或性暴力的风险都远远大于遭受他人暴力的风险。研究结果证实，伴侣对女性的身体暴力和性暴力很普遍。环境内部和环境之间流行率的差异突出表明，这种暴力并非不可避免，必须加以解决。
Background Violence against women is a serious human rights abuse and public health issue. Despite growing evidence Of the size of the problem, current evidence comes largely from industrialised settings, and methodological differences limit the extent to which comparisons can be made between studies. We aimed to estimate the extent of physical and sexual intimate partner violence against women in 15 sites in ten countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, Japan, Namibia, Peru, Samoa, Serbia and Montenegro, Thailand, and the United Republic of Tanzania.Methods Standardised population-based household surveys were done between 2000 and 2003. Women aged 15-49 years were interviewed and those who had ever had a male partner were asked in private about their experiences of physically and sexually violent and emotionally abusive acts.Findings 24097 women completed interviews, with around 1500 interviews per site. The reported lifetime prevalence of physical or sexual partner violence, or both, varied from 15% to 71%, with two sites having a prevalence of less than 25%, seven between 25% and 50%, and six between 50% and 75%. Between 4% and 54% of respondents reported physical or sexual partner violence, or both, in the past year. Men who were more controlling were more likely to be violent against their partners. In all but one setting women were at far greater risk of physical or sexual violence by a partner than from violence by other people.interpretation The findings confirm that physical and sexual partner violence against women is widespread. The variation in prevalence within and between settings highlights that this violence in not inevitable, and must be addressed.
