"Almost one in three women in the European Union has experienced physical
violence, threats, or sexual violence since the age of 15. That is roughly 50
million women. These are the findings of the latest EU survey on gender-based
violence, based on interviews with more than 114,000 women.
What makes this figure alarming is not only its scale, but its persistence. Ten
years earlier, the first EU-wide survey found the same pattern. As the director
of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights put it: “a decade later, we continue to
witness the same shocking levels of violence.”
In a recent article in
Nature Communications, I examined whether Target 5.2
of the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – which aims to eliminate
all forms of violence against women and girls by 2030 – is realistic.
The uncomfortable answer is no, not by 2030, and not at the current pace."
