WHO calls for greater attention to violence against women with disabilities and older women
More news about the topic
Older women and women with disabilities face particular risk of abuse, yet their situation is largely hidden in most global and national violence-related data, according to two new publications released by the World Health Organization (WHO). The health agency is calling for better research across countries that will help ensure these women are counted, and that their specific needs are understood and addressed.
Where there is evidence on gender-based violence amongst these groups, data shows high prevalence.
