| Violence against women is a violation of human rights and a form of gender-based discrimination.\[W9]\Rooted in inequalities between men and women, it takes many forms. Estimates about the scale of\[W9]\the problem are alarming. Such violence has a major impact on victims and imposes a significant\[W9]\cost burden on society.\[W9]\The instruments put in place by the United Nations and Council of Europe, including the latter's\[W9]\'Istanbul Convention', to which the EU plans to accede, are benchmarks in efforts to combat violence\[W9]\against women.\[W9]\The EU is tackling the problem in various ways, but has no binding instrument designed specifically\[W9]\to protect women from violence.\[W9]\Although there are similarities between national policies to combat violence against women, the\[W9]\Member States have adopted different approaches to the problem.\[W9]\Parliament's efforts have focused on strengthening EU policy in the area. Parliament has repeatedly\[W9]\called for a European Union strategy to counter violence against women, including a legally binding\[W9]\instrument.\[W9]\Stakeholders have expressed a range of concerns, such as the impact of the economic crisis and the\[W9]\backlash against gender equality on funding for prevention and support for victims, and have\[W9]\highlighted the need for a comprehensive EU political framework on eliminating violence against\[W9]\women. They have also launched new initiatives of their own. | |
