Precise figures about the numbers of illegal firearms in the European Union (EU) are lacking, but several indicators point to their widespread availability and accessibility. According to the Small Arms Survey, over half of the estimated total number of firearms held by civilians in the EU in 2017 were unlicensed. While most of these citizens had no criminal intentions, their illicit firearms could be used for self-harm or domestic violence, or end up in the hands of criminals or terrorists. Most criminals and terrorists have more sophisticated ways to get hold of illicit firearms. They can be trafficked from source countries, diverted from legal supply chains, illegally manufactured or assembled in the EU, converted from legally available weapons, or sourced on the internet... ©The material may not be edited and must be shown entirely.

Violence against women is a problem that can affect anyone, anywhere in the world, including in the EU. As women disproportionately experience violence from family members or relatives, at home, violence against women tends to stay hidden. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated this problem. The EU does not have a specific legal instrument to address gender-based physical or cyber violence, despite the harm and costs it imparts on victims, their friends, family and society. EPRS assessment finds that a combination of policy options would generate the greatest European added value, promote victims' fundamental rights, address the impact on individuals, society and the economy, and support law enforcement and people working with victims.

EPRS - Combating gender-based violence at EU level

The Women’s Rights and the Civil Liberties committees discussed a legislative initiative calling for a directive to establish the minimum rules concerning: the definition of the crime of gender-based cyber-violence and related sanctions; new measures to promote the prevention of this crime; and to ensure justice and support for victims. A panel was also organised for the yearly meeting on "Eliminating Violence against Women"which explored the current state of affairs in policy and practice in focused areas of gender-based violence.
