Methodological Guidance OHCHR and its data partners aim to produce this indicator based on the highest quality data possible. This is based on the following considerations: Case-specific data For this indicator, only statistics that can be broken down into specific cases involving one particular victim of a human rights violation or abuse will be used for purposes of producing country-level, regional and global estimates. This applies also in instances where official aggregated statistics are available. This approach serves as a check against double counting, and ensures consistency and comparability across the range of contributing data sources. Defined event A data source is also responsible for defining and classifying a violation or abuse that constitutes an event in the statistical sense. For this purpose, the following analytical syntax would be useful: “Who did what to whom, where and why?” This translates into a minimum set of verifiable data that altogether defines the event (see, Table 1) Table 1 – Elements of a statistical event covered by this indicator Element Who did  Field Perpetrator    What To whom When  Violation or abuse type  Related violation or abuse type (up to 3)   Name of victim Victim Type  Sex of victim  Age group of victim  Date of incident                      Category State actor Other actors acting with the State's permission, support or acquiescence Other actors not acting with the State's permission, support or acquiescence/private actors Insufficient information Killing Enforced disappearance Torture Arbitrary Detention Kidnapping Other Harmful Acts Killing Enforced disappearance Torture Arbitrary Detention Kidnapping Other Harmful Acts Free text Journalist Trade Unionist Human Rights Defender Man Woman Unknown Adult (18 and above) Child (below 18) DD-Month-YYYY 6
