This integrated multi-institutional data collection system will establish a systematic and standardized method of data management. The Model itself will include data related to the registry of services available in the country, cases of violence, and other relevant data related to gender-based violence at the state level. This Model is exceptionally important since this is the first time that all data related to gender-based violence in the country will be cross-institutionally integrated into one place.
