The annual cost of gender-based violence against women is estimated at 290 billion euros a year in the EU, according to a study published Wednesday by the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), according to EUObserver.
Violence between intimate partners, which has considerably grown during the pandemic, contributes by more than half to the cost (151 billion euros).
One in three women in the EU aged 15 or over has experienced physical and/or sexual violence, while 22-percent of European women have faced violence by an intimate partner.
The cost of violence in the European Union is estimated to be the highest in Germany, EUR 54 billion, France (€43bn), Italy (€38bn), Spain (€30bn), Poland (€24bn) and Romania (€12bn).
