Physical and sexual violence affects roughly a third of women in the European Union during their lifetime, but most incidents go unreported, a survey revealed on Tuesday.
Prevalence rates varied significantly, ranging from 57.1% in Finland to 11.9% in Bulgaria.
Finland's Nordic neighbours, known for high gender equality, also showed high levels of violence, with 52.5% of women in Sweden and 47.5% in Denmark experiencing violence, while lower-equality countries to the south show more complex reporting dynamics.
