Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. The extent of
violence against women is currently hidden. How should violence be
measured? How should research and new ways of thinking about
violence improve its measurement? Could improved measurement change
policy? The book is a guide to how the measurement of violence can
be best achieved. It shows how to make femicide, rape, domestic
violence, and FGM visible in official statistics. It offers
practical guidance on definitions, indicators and coordination
mechanisms. It reflects on theoretical debates on 'what is gender',
'what is violence', and 'the concept of coercive control'. and
introduces the concept of 'gender saturated context'. Analysing the
socially constructed nature of statistics and the links between
knowledge and power, it sets new standards and guidelines to
influence the measurement of violence in the coming decades.
