- Strengthening data systems on violence against women in the Western Balkans and TürkiyePublication . European Institute for Gender Equality; Costa, DiogoViolence against women and girls and gender-based violence is a cause and effect of gender inequality and the power imbalance between women and men, and one of the most widespread violations of human rights. This deeply entrenched phenomenon requires a coordinated and targeted prevention and policy response based on reliable and comparable data and evidence. Over the past years, EU candidate countries and potential candidates from the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia) and Türkiye have strengthened their data collection on violence against women (VAW), contributing to a better understanding of patterns and trends and providing much-needed data for evidence-based policymaking. However, gaps in comprehensive, disaggregated data on various forms of VAW still pose a barrier to fully understanding the scope and scale of VAW in each country or region.

- Women fleeing the war: access to sexual and reproductive healthcare in the EU under the temporary protection directivePublication . European Institute for Gender Equality; Costa, DiogoThis report presents the findings of a study launched following Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022, which led to a displacement of an unprecedented scale and forced over 8 million people – mostly women and children – to flee Ukraine and seek refuge and protection across Europe (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) data, as of 9 May 2023). The overarching objective of this report is to assess the availability of specialised services available in the European Union for victims of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). More specifically, the report aims to identify gaps in the provision of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and offers recommendations to ensure that victims of CRSV enjoy immediate access to them. This three-phase study comprised desk research, an EU-wide questionnaire completed by 26 experts representing EU Member States and 12 follow-up interviews with representatives of relevant NGOs and public bodies conducted in four of the Member States: Czechia, Germany, Poland and Slovakia.
