I really want to know how the data on gender violence is collected. In Italy we use the data from collectives who consider an extreme violent act of manipulation and control of women's body even stuff like expressing an opinion on an outfit or the makeup. They will give women found on social media a questionary of 7 questions to answer with yes/no/I don't know. I don't think this is a rigorous way to collect data

usually crime stats or self-reports in polling/studies. at least in the USA

but you're correct that these data points are going to vary from country to country, because crimes and assaults have different legal definitions, and there are different social standards and laws about what is or isn't violence.
