Since 2007, the Global Forum on Gender Statistics has been held every two years, bringing together producers and users of gender statistics from national and international statistical offices, government agencies, international organizations, academia, civil society, the private sector, and the donor community. The Forum serves as a platform to promote statistical standards and discuss ways to improve data and evidence for gender policies, including those aimed at eliminating all forms of violence and discrimination against women.
To strengthen capacity in measuring and analyzing data on violence against women, UNSD has conducted regular workshops, including through projects under the Development Account Programme, focused on strengthening countries’ statistical capacity in terms of making better use of existing data and communicating gender indicators; producing gender statistics in selected areas, including on violence against women.
