It provided figures and document a range of sexist and violent behaviour against women in parliaments. It also seeks to assess the extent and highlight the particular forms of such abuse in Europe. The study therefore aims to break the silence and persistent taboos and to contribute to the fight against gender-based behaviour and violence wherever they occur.
