An intervention programme on the empowerment of women in prison provides information on the number of women who have been victims.
What is the percentage in your country? What work is there on this issue?

De acuerdo al siguiente artículo. En México más del 70 % de las mujeres presas reportan violencia física o sexual.https://www.animalpolitico.com/2015/06/8-de-cada-10-mujeres-en-prision-encerradas-por-un-delito-menor-ligado-al-narco/
In Hungary there have only been sporadic and small sample studies specifically on the rate of domestic abuse victims among female inmates. According to a qualitative research study (Rédai et al., 2005) - based on a broad definition of domestic violence, including childhood victimization and intimate partner violence - 68 percent of female inmates suffered some form of domestic abuse in childhood, 86 percent were victimized from intimate partner violence, and altogether 95 percent of them have been victims of domestic violence in childhood and/or in adulthood . A former study (Fehér-Parti, 2002) revealed that one third of Hungarian female inmates have experienced family violence as a child. Almost half of the women convicted for murder or homicide have been victims of intimate partner violence before.
It can be stated in general that victims of domestic abuse are overrepresented in inmate populations compared to the general population, especially in case of female inmates. We have no recent reliable statistical data, but the severity of the problem is evident.
Many Thanks, Judith.
The situation is very hard in Hungary. It necessary work to change.
