Domestic violence can be at the hand of both sexes. However, violence against women is predominantly perpetrated by men. Currently, 9 out of 10 victims of domestic violence within the European Union are women. Furthermore, between 12 and 35 percent of women, depending on the Member State, are victims of intimate partner violence. These figures clearly delineate the gender dimension of this serious and persistent issue in Europe.
