It offers practical guidance on definitions, indicators and coordination mechanisms. It reflects on theoretical debates on what is gender , what is violence , and the concept of coercive control . and introduces the concept of gender saturated context . Analysing the socially constructed nature of statistics and the links between knowledge and power, it sets new standards and guidelines to influence the measurement of violence in the coming decades.
