The Uganda Bureau of Statistics conducted a survey on violence in 2020 encompassing modules on; Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) age 15-59, Violence Against Children (VAC) age 10-14, Violence against men (VAM) age 15-59 and Violence, Abuse and Neglect (VAN) among older women age 60 and above. The qualitative module was also included to provide an in-depth understanding of some of the issues that were investigated in the quantitative modules.

Four reports have been developed, each focusing on the above mentioned modules. To the extent possible, qualitative results have been used to explain some of the quantitative findings. The current report on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) contains vital information in monitoring progress towards eliminating VAWG. The indicators in this report therefore are among the Gender responsive Statistics under the National priority gender equality indicators (NPGEIs) and SDG 5.
