Contents: Editors' Summary -- The World Takes Notice -- Intimate Partner Abuse -- Sexual Coercion -- Impact on Reproductive Health -- Threats to Health and Development -- Health Providers Play a Key Role -- An Agenda for Change -- Bibliography N2 - "This issue of Population Reports focuses principally on two types of violence: (1) abuse of women within marriage and other intimate relationships and (2) coerced sex, whether it takes place in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. This focus reflects the types of abuse most dominant in the lives of women and girls around the world. Other forms of abuse, such as trafficking in women, rape during war, female infanticide, and FGM, are also important. They are not included in this report, however, because they deserve separate consideration (see, for example, Population Reports, Female Genital Mutilation: A Reproductive Health Concern, (Supplement to Series J, No.41, October 1995). Limiting the focus of the report to intimate partner violence and sexual coercion makes it possible to discuss these issues and appropriate program responses in more depth.'
