Methodological Guidance: Administrative data collection on violence against women and domestic violence

The indicators devel- oped by EIGE help to assess the progress made at the national level to reduce IPV and domestic vio- lence, and enhance the comparability of data in alignment with the minimum requirements of the EU’s victims’ rights directive and the Council of Europe’s Istanbul Convention. [...] Data disaggregated by the sex of the perpetrator Findings from EIGE’s previous data collection activities reveal that several Member States cannot pro- vide sufficient data disaggregated by both the sex of the victim and the sex of the perpetrator. [...] Indicator grouping in the 2a_Metadata_statistical tab If possible, data providers should specify whether the data they share applies to all the indicators in the police or justice groups, or if the data only applies to one or a few of the indicators in the police or justice groups. [...] For each of the indicators, national data providers will provide information on whether the data inputted in the tool refers to the correct unit of measurement, the correct sex of the victim, the correct sex of the perpetrator (for indicators 3 and 11–13), and the correct relationship between the victim and the perpetrator (see Figure 6). [...] Questions in the 2c_Metadata_conceptual tab Annex 1 provides detailed information on the correct data that should be shared regarding the unit of measurement, the sex of the victim and the sex of the perpetrator for each indicator.
