Violence against women
The recognition and respect throughout Europe for the
equal dignity and integrity of both women and men are major objectives of the
Council of Europe. Practices which may be qualified as torture or inhuman or
degrading treatment and to which women are preponderantly exposed by virtue of
their sex, such as physical violence, rape, genital and sexual mutilation,
traffic in women and girls are still common and have dramatically increased in
some areas, both in quantity and intensity.
Violence against women is a
serious obstacle to equality between women and men, and perpetuates
inequality.
Since 1993, the Council of Europe has made the combat against
violence one of its priorities.
