对妇女的暴力行为在工业化国家和欠发达国家都是一个重大的公共卫生问题。 本文件描述了家庭暴力和强奸的严重程度和对健康的影响,重点是发展中国家;但是,它承认,关于在欠发达国家开展的反对对妇女的暴力行为的广泛活动的文献资料很少。 报告简要探讨了使暴力侵害妇女行为长期存在的因素以及为应对这一问题而制定的战略。 报告分析了可能有助于暴力成为一个合理的公共卫生问题的各种因素,并探讨了在这一领域取得进一步进展的机会和障碍。 特别注意研究在决策过程中的作用;初步提出了可能有助于反对对妇女一切形式暴力行为的研究领域。
Violence against women in a significant public health issue in countries of both the industrialized and less developed world. This paper describes the magnitude and health consequences of domestic violence and rape, with an emphasis on developing countries; it recognizes, however, that there is a dearth of documentation regarding the wide range of activity opposing violence against women which is taking place in less developed countries. It briefly explores the factors that perpetuate violence against women and the strategies that have evolved to respond to the problem. It analyses the constellation of factors that may assist violence to emerge as a legitimate public health concern, and explores opportunities and obstacles to further progress in this field. Particular attention is devoted to the role of research in the policy-making process; research areas which may assist those opposing violence against women in all its forms are tentatively suggested.
