This project is an opportunity to address the obligation deriving from the UN 2030 Agenda and from the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, which the Republic of Croatia signed and ratified.
The objective of the survey is to gain statistically sound, nationally representative and internationally comparable statistics on frequency. In particular, it provides a unique opportunity to implement a standalone victimisation survey and to obtain statistical results on the gender dimension of significant types of crime, interpersonal conditions that might influence crime patterns, personal consequences of crime, reporting practices, attitudes towards police, readiness of the legal and health system to tackle the issues covered by the survey, intensity of certain types of crime, and a general but statistically sound socio-demographic picture of both perpetrators and victims.
From December 2020 to April 2023, Croatian Bureau of Statistics (CBS) will prepare and implement the full-scale survey: “EU survey on gender-based violence against women and other forms of inter-personal violence (EU-GBV)”. This survey was tested in 2017-2019 period and is being implemented within the framework of the Eurostat grant.
The project activities are the following:
As of May 2022, activities 1 and 2 have been fully implemented. Activities 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 are planned to be subcontracted.
The challenges are primarily ensuring security for respondents and interviewers and getting high response rates.
