Technical Consultation on the Development of the ASEAN Guidelines for Collection and Analysis of Data on Violence Against Women
Event description
To support ASEAN Member States, ASEAN and UN Women are partnering, with support from DFAT, to develop guidelines on VAW data collection. The guidance will bring together in one document guidance on three main types of VAW data, including prevalence data, administrative data, and methods of estimating the costs of VAW (i.e., costs of services and action, and costs of inaction, and costs to society). The guidance will address the similarities and differences between these three type of VAW data, and address how each of these types of data complement and interact with each other. Since guidance is available for generating prevalence data and costing data, the type of VAW data that needs further exploration in this meeting is administrative data, as little guidance is available to date on administrative data. The aim is to integrate experiences and practices from ASEAN countries into the VAW data guidance, making it regionally relevant. The guidance will assist ASEAN countries in measuring and reporting on SDG targets and indicators related to VAW and EVAW, including related to the Core indicators for measuring violence against women identified by Friends of the Chair of the United Nations Statistical Commission on indicators on VAW (included in the RPA on EVAW).

- To review principles of data collection and analysis related to VAW
- To review VAW and EVAW-related indicators in the SDGs and types of data to report on indicators
- To identify the next steps for drafting regional guidelines for strengthening ASEAN Members States’ abilities to systematically collect and analyse data related to VAW
