FRA Report "Violence against Women"

Date:

A new report by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights
(FRA) presents results from the world’s biggest-ever survey on violence
against women, revealing the extent of abuse suffered by women at
home, work, in public and online. As well as demonstrating the wide
prevalence of violence against adult women, the report also details
incidents of physical and sexual violence experienced by women in
childhood. The survey shows that policy makers need to recognise the
extent of violence against women, and ensure that responses meet the
needs and rights of all victims of violence against women in practice and
not just on paper.
