Vanuatu’s prevalence of physical or sexual violence against women by husbands and partners has fallen by nine percentage points over the last 15 years — from 44% of ever-partnered women aged 15-49 in 2009 to 35% in 2024. This is a faster decrease than the global average, and is not surpassed by any other country in the Asia-Pacific region with comparable studies over two points in time.
