Sexual Violence in Intimacy (Preview) - Implications for Research and Policy in Global Health

A fascinating new volume Sexual Violence in Intimacy (eds. Torres & Yllö, 2021), including a chapter by kNOwVAWdata's Dr Henriette Jansen.

In her chapter, Dr Jansen looks at gender-based violence and marital rape in 11 Pacific Island countries, revealing unexpected and misunderstood patterns and drivers typically hidden behind regional, subregional and national averages.

Through an unprecedented analysis of violence against women prevalence data across the Pacific, Jansen illustrates how without qualitative insights and cross-cultural contextualisation, quantitative data alone never tell the full story.
