The source adds the following information: "The questionnaire is comprehensive, and is structured to facilitate the assessment of the wholeness of the gender-based violence phenomenon, based on its determinants, prevalence, forms, contexts, repercussions, attitudes towards and perceptions of it. The questions cover all acts of violence perpetrated against women and girls in every social context (or living space) and relate to a well defined period of time, so as to provide indicators on the current level of violence (over the last 12 months)."
