FRA and EIGE conducted the European Union gender-based violence survey (EU-GBV survey) in eight EU Member States – Cyprus, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, Romania and Sweden. The EU-GBV survey was developed by Eurostat and the national statistical authorities, in consultation with various experts and organisations, including FRA and EIGE.
This report describes the measures taken to carry out the survey, which resulted in a final dataset of 15,447 interviews across the eight survey countries. The EU-27 aggregate results of the EU-GBV survey on women’s experiences are based on 114,023 interviews in total. The survey implementation and selected fieldwork outcomes have also been summarised in the annexes of the results reports published in 2024 and 2026.
