The Eurostat task force on developing a survey on gender-based violence will next meet on 14 and 15 November in Luxembourg.

FRA is contributing to the development of the new survey based on the agency’s expertise on collecting comparative, EU-wide survey data on violence against women.

The task force is expected to discuss the final amendments to the questionnaire and methodological guidelines of the survey, before EU Member States proceed with collecting the data in 2020-2022.

The survey will be implemented on a voluntary basis, with Eurostat administering grants to cover part of the data collection costs.

The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) provides independent, evidence-based advice to EU and national decision makers, thereby helping to make debates, policies and legislation on fundamental rights better informed and targeted.

• - 

  discrimination
• - 

  access to justice
• - 

  racism & xenophobia
