A study by the UN agency, UN Women, examined data from around the world in 2023 and found that levels of violence against women have remained high and largely unchanged. It also re-affirmed that violence against women is most likely to occur at home, from either a partner or family member. Raphaelle Rafin, a policy specialist on ending violence against women for UN Women, talks to The World’s Host Carolyn Beeler about the results of the study.
