How to strengthen public health data on intimate partner violence and sexual violence in the Americas
Violence against women and girls is a major public health challenge in the Americas region. Preventing violence requires a multidisciplinary response, and health systems have an important role to play, including providing appropriate care and support for survivors of violence. One of the strengths of the health system response is access to valuable data to monitor responses to violence, sensitize others, and advocate for change. Good health data facilitates adoption, adaptation and improvement of responses to violence against women and girls. By generating comparable statistics on violent incidents and the quality of care provided, medical professionals and health care and policy leaders can monitor key indicators and base their decisions on scientific evidence. You can. This toolkit is intended to support health care professionals, administrators, and policy makers in the collection and use of health care data on intimate partner and non-partner sexual violence. This includes an information sheet that introduces and explains the importance of collecting health administrative data on cases of intimate partner violence and sexual violence, and the formats for collecting these data and how to use them correctly. We are proposing. It also emphasizes the importance of providing a quality health system response based on human rights principles. This kit is consistent with existing Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization recommendations and tools and provides practical guidance to health sector staff in implementing this guidance and strengthening health administrative data on violence against women and girls. Provide guidance.
