This study reviews global, regional, and national datasets on lethal violence—including on homicides and conflict-related fatalities—to highlight how available gender-relevant data is still low across the board. However, the text’s authors also note that recent developments connected to the 2030 Agenda’s implementation have demonstrated the possibility to improve data on the gendered dimensions of violence. Increasing political support and civil society commitments have started to provide more relevant data for a range of related lethal violence, small arms, and gender indicators. The study therefore sees room for optimism regarding gender-relevant data that is key for addressing armed violence.
