OSCE-led Survey on Violence Against Women - Violence Against Women in Conflict Thematic Report

This report explores the ways in which women have been directly affected by conflict and experiences of VAW in the context of conflict versus non-conflict settings. It provides an overview of the prevalence, forms and nature of conflict-related violence in the region covered by the OSCE-led survey. The data collected provides information about the prevalence of conflict-related incidents of physical and sexual violence, sexual harassment and stalking in pre-conflict settings, during conflict and in post-conflict situations. This data had never been collected in the OSCE region before, and this report will feed into the OSCE’s work on conflict early warning.

OSCE-led Survey on Violence Against Women

The documents on this page present the cross-regional, comparable findings of the OSCE-led Survey on the Well-being and Safety of Women, which was implemented in 2018 in selected countries in South Eastern Europe and Eastern Europe. The OSCE-led survey included a quantitative and qualitative component and was undertaken with the goal of providing comparable data on different forms of violence women experience in their childhood and throughout the course of their lives. The research examined violence that women experience in conflict and non-conflict settings, as well as the impact violence has on women and girls, including its lasting consequences. Questions on norms and attitudes connected to violence against women were asked to better understand the underlying causes of violence and the particular circumstances of disadvantaged women and girls were examined. Every report includes a list of key conclusions and proposed action points for a variety of actors from civil society, OSCE participating States and OSCE executive structures.
