Description:

This indicator presents data from the European Commission’s 2024 flash Eurobarometer survey on gender stereotypes and violence against women (FL544).

It shows the percentage of respondents who find it acceptable or unacceptable for a man to occasionally slap his wife or girlfriend.

The indicator presents data for women, men, and total respondents.

Survey participants were asked whether they consider it acceptable or unacceptable for a man to occasionally slap his wife/girlfriend. For Lithuania, it should be noted that the translation used for ‘slapping’ may have been understood as less severe as the meaning in English, but no other word exists to translate ‘slapping’ in Lithuanian. This may explain why a higher percentage of respondents in Lithuania (32%) found the action acceptable in certain circumstances, compared to the average EU-27 Member State (4%).
