Description:

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.

This indicator shows the percentage of ever-working women who have experienced sexual harassment at work during their lifetime, by type of perpetrator. It distinguishes between the following types of perpetrators:

Co-worker: male
