Domestic violence against women remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations of our time, and one of the biggest\&nbsp;global problems. In the EU,\&nbsp;9 out of 10\&nbsp;victims of intimate partner violence are women. It harms women, families, communities and society.
The EU is\&nbsp;committed\&nbsp;to combatting violence against women. This commitment is affirmed in the Women{\textquoteright}s Charter (2010), the European Commission{\textquoteright}s Strategy for Equality between Women and Men 2010-15 and the Stockholm Programme for 2010-14. However, domestic violence against women still remains widespread and under-reported.
The current report aims to\&nbsp;support policymakers and all relevant institutions\&nbsp;in their efforts to combat and prevent domestic violence, by providing them with reliable and comparable data and information for effective, evidence-based decisions and policy improvement.},
