The impact of intimate partner violence and custody rights on women and children: extracts and statement by Luisa REGIMENTI (ID, IT) Co-rapporteur

Violence against women and girls is a widespread and devastating human rights violation that takes place across the globe. In the EU, one third of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence since the age of 15 and about 50 women lose their lives to domestic violence every week. The number of cases of domestic violence rised very rapidly because of the restrictive measures taken to combat COVID-19. This infoclip illustrates different places or organisations where women could ask help as victim of violence

Infoclip: Violence against women and domestic violence

The coronavirus pandemic influenced the negotiations on the medium-term architecture of EU finances, which resulted in the adoption of an unprecedented budgetary package in December 2020. This combines the €1 074.3 billion multiannual financial framework (MFF) for the years 2021 to 2027 with the €750 billion Next Generation EU (NGEU) instrument. The agreement brought new momentum to the EU budget, assigning it a major role in the Union's strategy to relaunch the economy. The launch of NGEU, a temporary recovery instrument (2021-2023), to be financed through resources borrowed on the markets by the European Commission on behalf of the Union, is a major innovation.

EPRS - Economic and Budgetary Outlook for the European Union 2021

In the five-year European political cycle, it is a year in which progress towards significant action and implementation are expected, after a first year generally more focused on declarations and planning. And global events and geopolitical tensions make it no less critical at international level.
