Description
This study analysed the existing research on different forms of cyber violence against women and girls. It assessed the availability of survey and administrative data on the phenomenon and found that data on cyber violence in the EU is scarce. The report consequently called for gender-disaggregated data at EU level on the prevalence and harms of cyber violence with indicators to measure the effectiveness of interventions.
