The 2016 National Women's Life Experience Survey (SPHPN) by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) shows that physical and/or sexual violence is more prevalent among women aged 15-64 with a high school education or higher and who are unemployed. 39.4 percent of women in this category have experienced violence at some point in their lives.
The 2016 SPHPN data also reveals that 1 in 3 women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from both partners and non-partners during their lifetime. In the past 12 months, approximately 1 in 10 of these women experienced violence.
This BPS survey was conducted on women aged 15-64 in 900 census blocks, with a sample of 10 households per block, totaling 9,000 respondents. In this research, BPS collaborated with the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, BPS, and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
