WHO - Violence against women: Strengthening the health system response

Written By World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday, Nov 25, 2016 | 06:57 AM

 
One in three women throughout the world will experience physical and/or sexual violence by a partner or sexual violence by a non-partner. This violence has a wide range of short- and long-term health consequences. The health system is a place where women who have experienced violence can go to in order to receive services and support for their physical and mental health needs.
