Sexual violence against children (SVAC) and intimate partner violence (IPV) against women are two of the most devastating yet persistently underrecognized global health challenges and rank among the top risks for mortality and morbidity worldwide, according to research published in The Lancet using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2023 study. Globally, among women aged 15 to 49, IPV and SVAC ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, among all health risks for premature death and disability. (SVAC ranked 11th among men.) We discuss this research with Dr. Luisa Sorio Flor, Assistant Professor at IHME and the Department of Health Metrics Sciences at the University of Washington.
