A survey conducted between December 2014-November 2015 employed a population-based household survey approach across 14 selected urban areas which, based on 2014 population estimates, represented 48% of the total population. A total of 2376 women participated in the survey which found that among women, 35.6% reported adult lifetime experiences of physical or sexual intimate partner violence (IPV). Given the representative nature of population demographics in the selected urban areas, this lifetime prevalence is likely representative of Somali women in general (KMM-CODER COMMENT).

Countries: Oman
Variables: DV-DATA-1
This cross-sectional study in 2019 included 978 literate women aged 18–60 years old attending primary health care centres in Muscat region. A self-administered questionnaire was used to record the characteristics of the women and determine the prevalence of emotional and physical domestic violence. The mean age of the participants was 30.6 years, and most of them (84%) were married. The overall prevalence of domestic violence was 28.8% (282/978). Although this lifetime experience was specific to one region, given what we know about the prevalence of marriage in Omani culture, we can assume this percentage is fairly representative for Omani women in general (KMM-CODER COMMENT).
