National Violence Against Women Survey

The National Violence Against Women Survey (NVAWS) is a comprehensive research study that collects data on the prevalence and nature of violence experienced by women in the United States. Conducted through interviews with a representative sample, it assesses various forms of abuse, including physical, sexual, and emotional violence, as well as stalking. The survey aims to understand how widespread these issues are, identify risk factors, and inform policies and resources to prevent violence and support survivors. It provides valuable insights into the scope and impact of violence against women nationwide.
