The results of the biggest ever violence against women survey in the EU are to be presented today (05.03.2014) in Brussels, at a high-level conference held under the auspices of the Greek Presidency and in cooperation with the Secretariat General of the Council of the EU.

The survey conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) is based on interviews with 42,000 women across the EU’s 28 Member States, who have spoken out about their experiences of abuse at home, at work, in public and online.

The event brings together around 250-300 representatives from EU institutions and bodies, international organisations, national governments and parliaments, national human rights bodies and civil society.

The conference will be streamed live on FRA’s website and on the Council of the EU website.
