Poland is among the safest countries for women, the report published by Eurostat on Monday found.

Some 50 million women in the EU aged 18 to 74 have experienced some sort of violence in their lifetime. The youngest, aged 18–29, are most at risk, according to the report.

In this age group, one in three (35%) have faced violence, with the perpetrators equally likely to be partners and strangers.

The research highlights that violence often occurs at home. In 2021, 18% of women reported experiencing physical or sexual violence by a partner. When psychological violence is included, this figure rises to 32%, meaning nearly one in three women in the EU has faced violence in a relationship.

One in five women experienced physical violence, sexual violence, or threats of violence from a non-partner. Four percent have experienced rape.

Eurostat noted significant differences across member states. The percentage of women who reported violence by a non-partner was highest in Finland (47%), Sweden (42%), Denmark (38%), the Netherlands (36%) and Luxembourg (34%). At the other end of the spectrum were Bulgaria (6%), Poland (8%) and the Czech Republic (10%).

Non-partner violence does not always involve strangers; perpetrators are often known to the victim.

Statistics show that strangers accounted for over half of non-partner violence cases in only a few EU countries: Denmark, Estonia, Spain, Latvia, the Netherlands and Sweden. In other countries, non-partner violence was often committed by men known to the victims.

In some societies, violence, particularly domestic violence, is seen as a private matter and less frequently reported to police, potentially influencing survey responses.

Violence against women is more commonly reported in countries with greater gender equality and where women are more likely to work and socialize outside the home.
EU leaders condemned violence against women. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a video on Monday – International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women – that the EU cannot remain silent and that all victims deserve justice. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola called for stronger protection for victims and tougher penalties for perpetrators.
