The 12-month of physical and/or sexual IPV in Sudan is 28.6. To convert this to lifetime prevalence, the ratio of the lifetime IPV estimate (31.8) and the past 12-month IPV estimate (17.3) in the African region was found to be 1.8, and was multiplied by the past 12-month estimate of 28.6. The resulting adjusted lifetime IPV estimate was 52.6. All data is taken from the WHO.
