Female Genital Mutilation ““Study to map the current situation and trends of female genital mutilation in 27 EU Member States and Croatia” Main findings • No harmonised FGM prevalence estimates and no comparable national prevalence studies. • Administrative data not systematically collected or centralised • Need of a comprehensive strategy, based on a gender-sensitive and human-rights approach, which empowers girls and women to be in control of their lives and which balances the state measures of protection, prevention and prosecution. • Improvement in data collection and intensified efforts on the behavioural change among FGM-practising communities, decision-makers and stakeholders in the countries of origin.

Administrative data sources on GBV Main findings • Police and justice are the systems with the widest coverage of administrative data for all the types of GBV, followed by social services, and mainly for IPV, sexual assault and rape. • Social services are more focused on IPV and they are not influenced by criminalisation. • In 24 Member States there are data sources colleting disaggregated information by sex and age of victim and perpetrator and their relationship.

  16. Administrative data sources on GBV Some remarks • WHAT? A common understanding in terms and definitions. • WHY? Data are needed make the right policies and to measure their effectiveness. • HOW? A common methodology is required and quality assurance process to ensure reliability and comparability. Data on GBV must be disaggregated. • WHEN? There is no mandate on GBV data collection across EU-28. • WHERE? GBV is multisectorial: social-justice-health-public problem.

  24. “I mean, it was on the other hand my father, who always used to tell me that because of the fact that I am a man, I should defend my sister. Because my sister, when she was very young, she was very pretty girl. And her male classmates constantly teased her, pulled her plaits and so on. And my father always used to tell me to try to demonstrate here that I am a man and to protect my sister.” A Man from Poland

  25. “I was born in a workers’ family, and my father he was very harsh and demanding with his wife, sometimes even violent, and this gave me a quite wrong vision of the relation between men and women, as I lived that moment as a male authority imposed on the family as a right and a duty, so for the whole time I was a boy I saw this figure.” A Man from Italy
