Introduction
The European
Women’s Lobby (EWL) set up in 1997 an Observatory on Violence against Women
drawing together experts with huge expertise in different forms of male
violence against women. The EWL Observatory’s main objectives are to identify
critical and emerging issues in order to feed the policy work of the EWL to
advocate for improved policies and service provision for prevention and support
of women victims of male violence. It raises visibility of the phenomenon of
male violence against women and monitors the commitments at local, regional,
national and European level regarding violence against women, highlighting
advances and set-backs, as well as providing relevant data. The EWL Observatory
on violence against women comprises now 33 experts (one from the 27 Member
States and from 6 accession/neighbouring countries), nominated by national EWL
coordination.
