Immer noch ist sexuelle Belästigung und Gewalt gegen Frauen in Europa weit verbreitet. Aus Furcht vor Übergriffen schränken viele Frauen ihren Bewegungsradius und den Kreis der Personen, mit denen sie sich treffen, ein. Auch melden es Frauen häufig nicht, wenn sie Opfer eines Übergriffs geworden sind. Dies sind einige der Erkenntnisse, die die Agentur der Europäischen Union für Grundrechte (FRA) aus ihrer jüngsten Umfrage über Erfahrungen mit unterschiedlichen Straftaten gewonnen hat. Zum Internationalen Frauentagruft die FRA dazu auf, Frauen besser zu unterstützen, damit sie ihre Rechte wirklich wahrnehmen können.
