Every Body Counts: Measuring Violent Deaths

1 Dataset - Visit external site

The Research Note, Every Body Counts: Measuring Violent Deaths, focuses on the objective measurement of violent deaths as a composite indicator that can be realistically used for monitoring progress towards target 16.1. The adoption of ‘violent deaths’ as an indicator within the SDG framework would contribute to realizing the call for a data revolution, a call that sees data and statistics as comprising an instrument of change towards more transparency, accountability, and inclusion, so that no one is indeed left behind.

    The Global Burden of Armed Violence database provides estimates on "violent deaths" from 2004 onwards. The violent deaths indicator combines national level statistics on homicide and data on fatalities occurred in armed conflict. The database covers more than 189 countries and territories and it is kept constantly updated. Estimates on violent deaths between 2007 and 2012 are at the core of the analysis presented in the third and latest edition of the Global Burden of Armed Violence, launched in May 2015.
