The mission of the European Observatory on Femicide (EOF) is first and foremost the prevention of femicide through data collection, data visibility, research and awareness raising.The EOF recognises its serious duty and obligation, as the first Observatory of its kind in Europe, to lead by setting an example of high standard, innovative and collaborative research initiative.The EOF recognises past and current efforts in Europe and around the world to prevent and combat violence against women and femicide, and fully commits to meaningful partnerships with stakeholders in the field, including women’s NGOs, governmental bodies, agencies and institutions.

Main activities related to gender equality and women's rights

Specific researchers from the EOF Advisory Board are responsible for organising the methodology or data collection under two thematic groups: data collection (mainly quantitative research) and prevention (mainly qualitative research). The EOF operates through the setting up and supporting of Europe-wide country research groups that act as focal points for the collection, joint analysis and dissemination of data. This is coordinated through the work of the two thematic groups.Partnerships and agreements are negotiated with existing organisations working on European/global data collection and comparability, as well as other organisations in the field.
