One in three EU women face violence, most cases unreported, survey finds

Physical and sexual violence affects roughly a third of women in the European Union during their lifetime, but most incidents ​go unreported, a survey revealed on Tuesday.

Prevalence rates varied significantly, ranging from 57.1% in Finland to 11.9% in Bulgaria.

Finland’s Nordic neighbours, known for high gender equality, also showed high levels ​of violence, with ​52.5% of women ⁠in Sweden and 47.5% in Denmark experiencing violence, while lower-equality countries to the south show more complex reporting ​dynamics.
