Based on the DHS Program's sexual violence guidelines (link below), there are a few variables that measure exposure to sexual violence. Variable d124 refers to non-partner sexual violence in the past year while d125 refers to sexual violence (regardless of the perpetrator) in the lifetime. There is also the d105 series that collects information on lifetime and past-year sexual violence by an intimate partner. If I'm understanding this all correctly, that means the DHS collects information on:

- Lifetime and past-year intimate partner sexual violence (d105 series)
- Past-year non-partner sexual violence (d124)
- Lifetime sexual violence, regardless of perpetrator (d125)


My questions are:
1) Does d125 refer to sexual violence by any perpetrator or sexual violence by a non-partner? The labeling is mixed across the forum/documentation/other websites, so I just want to confirm.
2) Is there a variable that refers to lifetime non-partner sexual violence, or is d124 the only non-partner specific question available?
3) Similarly, is there a variable that measures past-year sexual violence, regardless of perpetrator, or is d125 the only partner-unrestricted question?

I'm hoping to breakdown lifetime sexual violence into partner vs. non-partner violence, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
