In more developed regions, 98 per cent of Governments had adopted both legal measures and policies to prevent domestic violence, compared to 71 per cent with legal measures, 87 per cent with policies and 65 per cent with both among Governments in less developed regions. This proportion was also relatively low in Africa (68 per cent) and Asia (69 per cent). Four Governments in Africa and five Governments in Asia did not have any legal provisions or policies to prevent domestic violence (table III.6).
