Description

EIGE is estimating the number of girls at risk of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Austria, Denmark, Luxembourg and Spain. The study will use EIGE’s risk estimation methodology, which was previously used to estimate the number of girls at risk of FGM in Ireland, Portugal and Sweden, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy and Malta. 

You can find the results of those studies here.

Accurate estimations of the number of girls at risk are required to effectively tackle FGM. To support evidence-based policymaking EIGE will provide tailor-made recommendations for each of the four countries. The recommendations will take into account patterns of migration and will be informed by an analysis of the policy and legislative framework, sessions with migrant communities, experience-sharing sessions with policymakers and experts, as well as the risk estimations in each country.

FGM is a severe form of gender-based violence, which the EU is committed to eliminating. This work will support EIGE’s long-term objective to help eliminate gender-based violence in the EU.

The final report will be published in May 2021.

    Understanding intimate partner violence in the EU: the role of data

    This study builds upon EIGE’s previous work and analyses the availability of data within the police and justice sectors in all 28 Member States, assessing their comparability and potential to populate the indicators. This in-depth analysis has identified key challenges in collecting data on intimate partner violence and proposed recommendations for the EU and its Member States.
