Notes:	Reports the methodology, findings and key trends emerging from the International Violence Against Women Survey (IVAWS) conducted between December 2002 and June 2003. The survey aimed to assess the prevalence, nature and patterns of physical, sexual and psychological violence against women by intimate male partners, other known or acquainted males and strangers. Specific correlates of each kind of victimisation were also explored, as were women’s experience of childhood violence or abuse and their perceptions of and reactions to their victimisation. The findings of the survey indicate the risk of violence is highest for young women, Indigenous women and women not currently in a relationship. Policy and practice implications of the research findings are highlighted and some of the limitations of the research design identified.
