WHO provided technical support to an interagency convened process led by UN Women, PEPFAR and MEASURE Evaluation to identify one global indicator on gender equality for inclusion in the revised UNGASS list of core indicators. Based on the evidence, technical inputs and advocacy, the indicator "Prevalence of recent intimate partner violence among ever partnered women 15-49" was included. This will require 193 Member States to report data on prevalence of intimate partner violence to UNAIDS as part of Global AIDS Progress Reporting. It is expected that this will serve for countries not only to identify the problem of violence against women, but also put in place prevention interventions in order to show progress over time.
