A numbers game: lack of gendered data impedes prevention of disaster-related family violence.

Issue Addressed: The lack of a systematic approach to collecting family violence data after a disaster impedes family violence prevention and response efforts. Without evidence, there is little chance that interventions will be planned and implemented to address increased family violence after disasters.

Methods: A literature review of international and Australian gendered disaster research was conducted, with a focus on family violence following disasters in developed countries.
