“Violence against women: an EU-wide survey – Main results”

On 5th March 2014, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) released the findings of its study Violence against women: an EU-wide survey.

WAVE network (Women Against Violence Europe) has now summarized the main results of this comprehensive survey for each of the 28 EU countries. The resulting 9-page document can be used as a practical tool for finding information on a country-by-country basis and for lobbying at the EU-level.

You can read Wave’s compilation of the main findings on gender-based violence in each EU country here.
