Global indicators for assessing individual sectors are available (Bloom, 2008; see also the Monitoring and Evaluation Module on this site for Indicators by sector). It is important to note that some of these indicators refer to violence against women as a whole, and some to specific forms – for example, sexual violence and female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Where the indicator refers to violence against women, the forms monitored should be specified. This will avoid giving a false impression that all forms are covered (Kelly, 2008) when the coordinated response may only deal with, for example, intimate partner violence.
Note, however, that because coordinated responses vary widely and are relatively new innovations in many parts of the world, there continues to be a lack of globally agreed indicators relating to coordination specifically.
