Seminar on “Violence Against Women and Health Systems: Implications for Health Policy” on January 21st 2012, Mumbai

Violence against women (VAW) is a significant cause of physical and psychological harm or suffering among women, as well as a violation of their right to health. It takes various forms (physical, emotional, sexual, and financial) and the perpetrators range from strangers and state agencies to intimate partners and other members of the family. The National Family Health Survey – III, has found 33% women facing some form of physical violence, 10% reporting sexual violence and 16% reporting parental abuse.
