At a time of new resolutions, it is likely that 2019 will be placed under the banner of the fight against female violence. We may recall the outbreak of the Me-Too movement that broke out in 2018 around the world denouncing sexual assault and sexual harassment. In fact, it is a fight that is still on his way. According to a study published in 2013 by the European Union's "Daphne Project", an average of 3,500 women are killed by their partners each year in 27 of the EU's Member States. In addition, the Study on Violence Against Women published by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights in 2014 showed that no more than 14% of women residing in an EU Member State report cases of domestic violence to the police.
Mot-clé : Convention d Istanbul
Du besoin d’uniformiser les mesures de lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes.
mercredi 30 novembre 2016
En votant jeudi 24 novembre à la quasi unanimité une résolution qui demande l’adhésion de l’UE à la Convention d’Istanbul (Convention du Conseil de l’Europe sur la prévention et la lutte contre la violence à l’égard des femmes et la violence domestique), le Parlement européen s’est décidé à faire de la lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes une cause supranationale alors que la situation des femmes est aujourd’hui partout menacée, mettant parfois en péril dans certains pays des droits fondamentaux durement acquis.
