A survey conducted between December 2014-November 2015 employed a population-based household survey approach across 14 selected urban areas which, based on 2014 population estimates, represented 48% of the total population. A total of 2376 women participated in the survey which found that among women, 35.6% reported adult lifetime experiences of physical or sexual intimate partner violence (IPV). Given the representative nature of population demographics in the selected urban areas, this lifetime prevalence is likely representative of Somali women in general (KMM-CODER COMMENT).
