Request for information: Data collection on gun violence and violence against women
Viva Rio (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is seeking information on how different countries collect data on the relationship of gun violence and violence against women in order to provide advice to national and state public health bodies on how to measure the “invisible” impacts of guns – not just injuries and deaths, but also how guns are used in psychological abuse, to threaten and intimidate. Viva Rio hopes that questions on guns could be included in a questionnaire to be administered by health professionals as a standard procedure in cases of violence against women or domestic violence.
