The Guardian has created a visual online tool showing women's rights country by country. Created using data from the United Nations and the World Bank, the categories included in the snapshot are: domestic violence legislation, harassment, abortion, property and employment rights, discrimination and equality. The questions on domestic violence are:
- Law specifically addresses domestic violence?
- Specialised court or procedure for domestic violence?
- Legislation includes unmarried relationships?
- Legislation includes emotional abuse?
- Relevant legislation includes financial abuse?
- Legislation includes physical abuse?
- Legislation include sexual abuse?
The domestic violence data is from the World Bank's Women, Business and the Law.
