important similarity is the high rate of assault perpetrated by both male and female
students in all the countries.”11


THE EMPEROR’S CLOTHES:


HOW THE UN HIDES THE TRUTH OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

But is that explanation true? The research on domestic violence began in the early-1970s.
Almost every study disaggregated the results by sex. It is almost inconceivable that any
study would not break out the data. So the Beijing Declaration’s claim about an
“absence” of disaggregated data is clearly false.
Likewise, the 1999 WHO publication, Putting Women First: Ethical and Safety
Recommendations for Research on Domestic Violence Against Women, never gives any
hint that women are often instigators of DV. Likewise, the report does not suggest that
female abusers be the focus of research.18
Engendering Global Myths About DV
Psychologist John Archer reviewed and analyzed 552 DV reports from around the world.
His study represents the most rigorous summary ever conducted of the domestic violence
literature. His article, published in the Psychological Bulletin in 2000, reached this

conclusion:
“Women were slightly more likely than men to use one or more acts of
physical aggression and to use such acts more frequently.”19
But you would never suspect that by reading the many pronouncements on domestic
violence from the United Nations.
The UN emperor has no clothes.
