Details about the percentage of women who experience intimate partner and non-partner violence across the globe are featured. The data available reveals an alarming trend of sexual violence in every corner of the world. Even in Europe, the continent with the lowest prevalence of violence, several shortcomings exist in ensuring and maintaining women's safety. European countries are labeled according to whether or not they meet basic standards in preventing violence against women. It is important to note, however, that the data does not take into account the under-reporting of sexual crimes, the enforcement of laws prohibiting such violence, or the prosecution of those convicted of violence against women.
