An international survey program that is the largest source of statistically sound and internationally comparable data on women and children worldwide. The Tonga MICS collected data on health, nutrition, child protection, education, water, sanitation and hygiene as well as domestic violence amongst other topics.

This population-based study provides a reliable benchmark of the prevalence and incidence of violence against women in Vanuatu, and on attitudes to violence including: health and other effects of VAW and children; risk and protective factors in the family and the community; coping strategies; and the implications for prevention and support services.

This brief highlights research aimed at filling substantial gaps in understanding of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in humanitarian settings, including whether or not there is a correlation between increased national conflict and VAWG.

The 2016-18 PNG DHS final report provides information on basic indicators of fertility, fertility preferences, family planning practices, childhood mortality, maternal and child health, knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, and other related health issues.

The primary objective of the survey was to provide up-to-date information for policy-makers, planners, researchers and program managers to use in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of population and health programs in the country. The survey was intended to provide key estimates of the demographics and health of the country. In addition, the content of the survey was expanded to include questions on disability and gender-related violence.
