UN Women reports on this indicator in a global scope, signified by "(Desk Review)" at the end of the indicator statement (see the Our Global Results page for the global result)
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.
ComplementaryCommon indicators are those that appear verbatim the same in at least two entities' results frameworks and are drawn, where possible, directly from other globally agreed frameworks.

Project Spotlight Outcome 5: Quality, disaggregated and globally comparable data on different forms of violence against women and girls including femicide, collected, analysed and used in line with international standards to inform laws, policies and programmes
Project Spotlight Outcome 1 Legislative frameworks in the region follow and deepen the understanding of international human rights standards leading to effective sanctioning,
The legislative frameworks in LAC countries are aligned with international human rights standards on EVAWG and femicide/feminicide, and their implementation is monitored by women's civil society organizations, including youth and women facing multiple forms of discrimination.
UN Women contributed significantly to the strengthening of the capacities of government institutions for the development and strengthening of their national legal frameworks to prevent and respond to violence against women, including femicide/feminicide, and hence, reduce the rates of femicide/feminicide in the region. UN Women continued its partnership with the Gender Specialized Network of the Iberoamerican Association of Public Ministries, (AIAMP, in Spanish) which is represented by public prosecutors from 22 countries (Andorra, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Uruguay and Venezuela), and the Follow-up Mechanism of the Belém do Pará Convention, two institutions that work towards creating and advocating for better human rights standards across the region. The 22 countries represented in the AIAMP increased their capacities to promote, influence and implement gender-responsive legislation, particularly legislation related to violence against women and girls in the context of organized crime, and on the investigation of sexual violence, through the support of UN Women. In addition, an enabling environment for civil society organizations to monitor and provide inputs to the development of ending violence against women legal frameworks at the national and regional level was created, by a small grants mechanism that disbursed, together with UNDP, USD 240,000 to strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations.Disclaimer and notes
