This indicator presents data from the EU survey on gender-based violence against women and other forms of inter-personal violence (EU-GBV survey). The first wave of this survey was conducted jointly by Eurostat, EIGE, and FRA between September 2020 and March 2024. Eurostat coordinated data collection in 18 Member States (BE, BG, DK, EE, EL, ES, FR, HR, LV, LT, MT, NL, AT, PL, PT, SI, SK, FI), and the indicators disseminated for Italy (IT) were based on the most recent national survey with available results (2014). To cover the full EU, FRA and EIGE launched a joint data collection in the eight Member States not covered by Eurostat (CZ, DE, IE, CY, LU, HU, RO, SE) following the EU-GBV survey manual. This data collection used an extended questionnaire that included additional items to reflect emerging policy priorities and research needs. This indicator is calculated based on these additional items used in the eight Member States not covered by Eurostat.
