In Portugal, for example, violence against women is statistically higher in areas which have a higher standard of living or higher levels of education, which does not necessarily mean that that is where more violence against women and children occurs.
I f.eks. Portugal registrerer statistikkerne mest vold mod kvinder i kommuner med højest levestandard eller uddannelsesniveau, hvad der dog ikke nødvendigvis betyder, at det er dér, hvor der forekommer mest vold mod kvinder og børn.
