Violence against women costs EU €290bn a year
EU Observer ^ | 8. Jul 2021, 07:05 | Elena Sánchez Nicolás

The annual cost of gender-based violence against women in the EU has been estimated at €290 billion, according to a study by the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) on Wednesday (7 July).

Intimate partner violence, which has risen considerably during the pandemic, makes up more than half of the cost of gender violence (at €151 billion).

Gender violence refers to any physical, sexual or psychological harm to women.

These results are around one third higher than previous estimates — partly due to a higher incidence and a change in the methodology.

One in three women in the EU aged 15 or over has experienced physical and/or sexual violence, while 22 percent of female Europeans have experienced violence by an intimate partner. […]

In the EU, the cost of gender violence is estimated to be highest in Germany (€54 billion), France (€43 billion), Italy (€38 billion), Spain (€30 billion), Poland (€24 billion) and Romania (€12 billion). […]

The cost of gender violence in the EU and member states is based on extrapolated data from the UK, where there is a high availability of data. …

So they have “a high availability of data” in the UK, but not in the EU itself? Hmm.

And of course, no mention of certain people prone to violence against women being imported for years on end.

If there is a rise in violence against women, I'm wondering what particular group of people could be responsible for it.

Certainly it can't be the newly minted "Europeans" who follow the Religion of Peace.

So they just scaled it by population numbers? That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.

Yep I wonder. When they say the costs are billions, what are they referring to? Cost of treating victims in emergency rooms? Costs of psychological counseling? Costs of incarcerating perpetrators?

What’s that, the number of alleged victims or the amount of money blown on it?

How about the thing about having to go to the UK for the data, aside from how they played with it?

“Completely made-up numbers.”

That is what I am thinking.

Where is their estimate of violence against men? Then we would have a total number.

How much does “violence against men” cost?

I bet it’s more.

I suppose the UK collects more - or different - data from its citizens than other countries.

I don’t see how they correlate all those different types of “violence” with costs, though, other than direct medical costs. Perhaps that is presented in more detail in the full article that I did not read.

I call BS on the whole “study.”

Violence against women is costly. It takes money to import all those Moslems.
