El análisis comparativo de la prevalencia de la violencia contra la mujer en las relaciones de pareja plantea un importante conjunto de interrogantes a los investigadores. Entre estos interrogantes destacan las razones que pueden explicar las diferencias en prevalencia entre diversos grupos sociales definidos en función de sus características demográficas o socioeconómicas (edad, ingresos y educación, país de origen, etc.), o las razones que pueden explicar las diferencias en prevalencia entre países. La paradoja nórdica, término que se refiere a las altas tasas de prevalencia de violencia contra la mujer en los países con los niveles más altos de igualdad de género, continúa siendo una de las cuestiones más desconcertantes en este campo de investigación. A este y a otros interrogantes que plantea el análisis de la prevalencia de la violencia de pareja se trata de responder desde VIO-STRATEGY.
