Description:

The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) has developed 13 indicators on Intimate Partner Violence to guide and support the reporting process of Member States in order to meet their European and International commitments in relation to the fight against violence against women. Subsequently, EIGE has collected national-level administrative data from national police and justice sources against each of these 13 indicators.

The intimate partner violence: data collection methodology can be consulted here.

EIGE defines Intimate Partner Violence as “A pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviours, including physical, sexual and psychological acts, as well as economic coercion, which adults or adolescents may use against their intimate partners without their consent.” It includes “Any act of physical, sexual, psychological or economic violence that occurs between former or current spouses or partners, whether or not the perpetrator shares or has shared the same residence with the victim.”

Data in this table cover indicator 13 and represent the number of men sentenced for intimate partner violence against women victims, whose final sentencing decision involved a prison sentence or a sanction involving a form of deprivation of liberty.

Persons “held with a final sentencing decision” refers to persons held in prisons, penal institutions or correctional institutions after a final decision on their case has been made by a competent authority.

While EIGE aims to collect comparable data adhering to the definitions of the 13 indicators, the data collection has shown that countries’ availability of this data is limited. Values shown in this data table are comparable, i.e. they comply with EIGE’s definition. The following caveats for the comparable data in the data table apply (indicated by flag (d) (definition differs, see metadata):

The table below provides links to Excel files for each country with all data and metadata collected (including non-comparable approximates) for each of the 13 indicators defined by EIGE. In the second column, any nuances to comparable data as provided in data table in EIGE’s Gender Statistics Database are described, where relevant (as indicated by the flag (d) (definition differs, see metadata) in the data table).
