One middle-sized city where located in the southern Ibaraki Prefecture was selected for analysis, because the demography consist of a mixture of long-term inhabitants and newcomers. Interviews data from four nurses and midwives were obtained along with the data from emergency records from June 2001 to June 2004 at in one of the main general hospital in the city. In addition, data from publications and web sites regarding this the city and Ibaraki Prefectural government were also obtained.
Although four nurses and midwives reported experiencing some cases of gender-based violence in the first investigation in 2001, hospital records indicated only one case of gender-based violence.
