When the Council adopted the indicators and its conclusions on domestic violence in November 2002 it thus noted that the theme of violence against women could be revisited to deal with other perspectives and other target groups. The Irish Presidency carried out a survey amongst Member States regarding sexual harassment and, on the basis of this work, during the Dutch Presidency the Council adopted two indicators concerning sexual harassment in the workplace in November 2004. There are limitations to the extent to which EU wide indicators can be used to monitor progress towards the first and second strategic objectives of the Beijing Platform. Furthermore, no indicators have been developed to monitor progress towards the strategic objective to eliminate trafficking in women and to assist victims of violence due to prostitution and trafficking. 4.4.3 Trends emerging from EU-wide data The Eurostat database does not include statistics on violence against women specifically, and the statistics that are available in the database, such as the number of murders and violent crimes, do not include information about gender (Statistics Sweden 2009a). Currently no comparable statistics from the Member States are available on violence against women. At the moment, there are two main potential sources of information regarding this issue. One source is information from the different agencies (e.g. the police and legal system, agencies within the health sector, the social services, refuges for women subjected to violence etc.); the other is national prevalence surveys. In relation to the scope of the problem of violence against women, and the assessment of change over time, the first information source is problematic for several reasons, including the fact that only a minor proportion of the cases of violence is reported to the police or is known by any other agency. In addition, the size of the hidden figures is hard to assess and patterns in reporting violence may vary over time. As regards the second source, national prevalence surveys have been carried out in a significant proportion of the 27 MS over the last 15 years. However, the methodological differences between these surveys make the results hard to compare (cf. United Nations et al. 2006). 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 70 ANNEX DG G EN
This was one of the conclusions drawn from a review of prevalence surveys from eleven European countries (eight MS 27 ), carried out within an EC Framework 6 funded project assessing the state of European research on the prevalence of interpersonal violence (Martinez and Schröttle et al. 2006). The review indicated that the lifetime prevalence of physical and/or sexual violence by current and/or former partners ranges from 4 % to over 30 %, and the research team argues that the comparatively high rates found in studies from Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom are a possible effect of the measures used in those studies to uncover intimate partner violence. However, as this EC Framework 6 project also shows, some studies used in common certain well-known instruments to assess physical violence, such as a modified version of the Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus et al. 1996) or the list of acts used in the Statistics Canada Violence Against Women survey (Johnson 1996). 28 This makes it possible to compare the prevalence rates of at least some forms of violence through re-analysis of the data (Schröttle and Martinez et al. 2006). 29 It can also be noted that when it comes to sexual violence, the instruments used differ widely between studies; the instruments vary even more in the case of psychological violence. Furthermore, there is even less comparable data available regarding violence against disabled women, older women, and gay/lesbian/bisexual women. For example, in most studies, women with an immigrant background are under-represented in the sample used in those studies. Moreover, only few studies, such as the one carried out in Germany in 2003, have conducted interviews in different languages in order to increase the participation of this group of women (see Martinez and Schröttle et al. 2006). 27 In England and Wales, Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. 28 E.g. England and Wales (Walby and Mayhill 2001), Finland (Heiskanen and Piispa 1998), Germany (Schröttle and Müller 2003), Lithuania (2000), Sweden (Lundgren et al 2002). 29 For example, reanalysis of the datasets from selected studies indicates that the lifetime prevalence of physical and/or sexual violence by current or former partners is 29,9% in Finland, 28,9% in Germany, 37,6% in Lithuania, and 21,4% in Sweden, amongst women in the age group 20-59 years (Schröttle and Martinez et al 2006). 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 71 ANNEX DG G EN
