Special Eurobarometer 127: Europeans and violence against women

This opinion poll was conducted at the request of DG X "Information, Communication, Culture and Audio-visual Media" (Women’s Information Sector). The Public Opinion Analysis Unit of the same Directorate General managed and organised it. The data was collected from all Member States of the European Union between 12 March and 4 May 1999. INRA (EUROPE) - European Coordination Office, in Brussels, was responsible for general coordination.
The report examines what Europeans think about issues relating to domestic violence against women. It is divided into a number of sections which examine how much Europeans know about the matter, what sources of information they are aware of, how widespread they imagine this sort of violence to be, how seriously they take it, what factors they think cause it, which organisations should help the women affected, what they know about the laws on a number of related issues, how useful they think various approaches are to combating domestic violence and whether the European Union has a part to play.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
