GID-DB variables: restricted physical integrity

Etc.

<span style="line-height: 1.71429; font-size: 1rem;"><a href="http://www.wikigender.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/GID-logo.jpg"><img class="  wp-image-4250 alignright" src="http://www.wikigender.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/GID-logo.jpg" alt="GID logo" width="173" height="149" /></a></span>The Gender, Institutions and Development Database (GID-DB) is the only database providing researchers and policymakers with key data on gender-based discrimination in social institutions. Covering 160 countries, the GID-DB contains comprehensive information on legal, cultural and traditional practices that discriminate against women and girls. The GID-DB covers five sub-indices including restricted physical integrity.

This sub-index captures social institutions that limit women’s and girls’ control over their bodies, that increase women’s vulnerability, and that normalise attitudes toward gender-based violence. This includes formal and informal laws, norms and practices that fail to protect women’s physical integrity and reproductive autonomy and that allow violence and female genital mutilation. Restricted physical integrity due to gender-based violence and to a lack of reproductive autonomy has serious impacts on health outcomes for women and their children and on economic and social development indicators by increasing women’s vulnerability to poverty.

The GID-DB includes the following variables under the restricted physical integrity sub-index:
<ul>
	<li>Attitudes towards violence against women</li>
	<li>Prevalence of domestic violence</li>
	<li>Laws addressing domestic violence</li>
	<li>Laws addressing rape</li>
	<li>Laws addressing sexual harassment</li>
	<li>Female genital mutilation</li>
	<li>Reproductive autonomy</li>
	<li>Abortion</li>
</ul>
