National women’s health survey for Trinidad and Tobago: final report

This report presents the first nationally representative estimates of the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and non-partner sexual violence (NPSV) against women in Trinidad and Tobago. The data come from the 2017 Trinidad and Tobago Women’s Health Survey (WHS)—a national, quantitative, cross-sectional survey of 1,079 women ages 15–64.  The report documents the negative consequences of IPV for women and their children, as well as the most common responses and coping mechanisms.
