When multiple emotional or economic abuse was included, the prevalence of IPV perpetration ranged from 39·3% (409/1040; Sri Lanka)to 87·3% (623/714; Bougainville, Papua New Guinea).

When partners were included, the figure rose to 24 percent. Just under half of the perpetrators said they had raped more than one woman.
