Description

The study aimed to improve data collection on violence against women and to support the implementation of EU and Member State commitments to eliminate violence against women. Building on EIGE’s previous studies and work in this area, the study is a necessary step towards developing country-specific recommendations for Member States. This will improve administrative data collection on intimate partner violence and further the comparability of data across the EU-28.

More precisely, the study sought to:

  • Assess the quality and availability of administrative data on intimate partner violence and rape collected by the police and justice sectors in each Member State;
  • Assist Member States to provide regular, comparable data and to meet the monitoring requirements of international legal instruments (the Victims’ Rights Directive and the Istanbul Convention).
