Violence against women in its numerous forms – domestic violence, sexual violence, prostitution, the trafficking of women, sexual and psychological harassment, and violence against women in their places of work – represents a serious violation of human rights and freedoms, both individually and collectively, with profoundly negative social consequences. The prevention and eradication of violence against women need to constitute essential strategic objectives, the pursuit of which cannot de dissociated from the progress for which our civilisation is striving.
Some studies on gender-based violence estimate that between a fifth and a quarter of Europe’s female population have been victims of acts of physical violence at least once during their adult lives, and around one tenth of them have suffered sexual violence. It is also estimated that around 26% of children and young people report cases of physical violence during childhood and adolescence, which is particularly worrying if we take into account premises based on social learning, which hold that today’s victim could potentially be tomorrow’s attacker.
It is important now that the guidance included in this report be implemented."@en1
