Background and context

The European Women’s Lobby (EWL) is the largest umbrella organisation of women’s associations in the European Union, gathering more than 2000 women’s associations. We have members in 32 countries and 17 EU wide organisations. We campaign for a feminist Europe, which promotes women’s rights and equality between women and men in the European Union

Purpose

The aim of the project is to publish a study on specific forms of online violence and preventive measures to be presented during an event. The study is meant to build solid arguments for an advocacy paper to influence EU policy makers to shape policies which better tackle online violence.

Objectives of the study

  • Understanding the current state of online violence against women;
  • Mapping legislations at International, EU level and national level that already tackle the issue;
  • Identifying current good practices on protection and prevention;
  • Mapping stakeholders already active on the topic;
  • Assessing challenges and areas where regulatory intervention is needed;
  • Providing recommendations on actions the EU institutions and Member States should take to improve the status quo.

Deliverables and timeline

The researcher is expected to produce a study about the impact of online VAWG in the EU of approximately 35 pages in English.
