Across Europe, one in three women have experienced violence or threats, and many change their behaviour, routines or even careers to stay safe. No one should have to live like this. We need better protection across the EU. This means better reporting systems, faster responses from authorities, and real consequences for the people who cause these problems, both online and offline.

Harmful stereotypes still influence how society talks about rape, even though violence remains a reality for millions of women across Europe. These stories protect the people responsible and stop victims from speaking out. We demand a definition of rape that is the same throughout the EU. This means that responsibility is always placed on the perpetrator - never the victim. We want EU rules that put the focus back on the crime itself and make sure that every victim is treated with dignity, fairness and respect.

Across the EU, 1 out of 3 women have experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, a reality no one should accept. Women deserve safety at home, at work and in public spaces. We want the EU to put women’s safety at the heart of its agenda and ensure protection of women, in law and practice.

Myths about drinking, clothing or behaviour still shape how society talks about rape, even though about 20% of women in the EU have experienced violence from a non-partner. These myths protect perpetrators and silence victims. We demand an EU-wide, consent-based definition of rape so responsibility is always placed on the perpetrator, never the victim.

Dans l'Union européenne, une femme sur trois a été victime de violences physiques ou sexuelles au cours de sa vie, une réalité que personne ne devrait accepter. Les femmes méritent d'être en sécurité chez elles, au travail et dans les lieux publics. Nous voulons que l'Union européenne place la sécurité des femmes au cœur de son programme et garantisse leur protection, tant dans la législation que dans la pratique.

Four out of five people who experience violence never ask for professional help. This is often because services are unavailable, overloaded or unequal across Member States. We are campaigning for better rights for victims. This means making sure that every victim in the EU can access support, such as shelters, counselling, medical care and legal support.

One in six women in the EU has experienced sexual violence, including rape, at some point in their lives. However, some countries still have a definition of rape that is not based on the agreement of all parties, meaning that survivors are not all treated equally. We want a rule about consent that is the same in all EU countries. This will make it so that if a woman says "yes", that is the end of the matter, protecting women in public, at work, and in their own homes.

Only 22% of survivors of intimate partner violence report it, many fear being blamed or not believed. Instead of getting support, victims are still being judged. We want the EU to have stronger rules on victims' rights. This means that survivors should be treated with dignity and get the protection, legal aid and justice they deserve.

Violence against women affects 1 in 3 women, yet definitions and protections still vary widely across the EU. This unequal system leaves victims facing different laws and different levels of justice depending on where they live. We call for violence against women to be recognised as an Eurocrime, so that prevention, protection and prosecution are guaranteed everywhere, under the same law.
