Netherlands Must Recognize Gender Role in Domestic Violence
A European expert group has urged the Netherlands to ensure its policies reflect that domestic violence "disproportionately affects women".
The country ranks highly within the European Union on gender equality and has introduced new laws against harassment and discrimination.
Violence within a relationship is often viewed as reciprocal or a conflict between two equals, without a thorough understanding of the gendered power dynamics in intimate partner violence.
GREVIO, the Council of Europe's expert group on domestic violence, notes that a gender-neutral approach could leave women at risk.
