English: A Map of the world showing a composite index about rape of women in 2018. This scale combines LRW-SCALE-4, -5. -6. -7. -8. -9, and -10 for a comprehensive picture of rape within a country, looking not only at reported prevalence, but also degrees of underestimation, issues of law, existence of enclaves of greater frequency of rape, strengths of taboos against reporting rape, and so forth. It is operationalized by combining the score of each of these 7 scales, resulting in a scale that ranges from 0-18. For mapping purposes, we have divided that range into 5 levels. However, the database contains the full 0-18 score. A missing score on any of the subscales results in a missing score on LRW-SCALE-11. (see WomanStat codebook
