Violence and gender relations

Violence involving gender relations is a core societal issue and receives a great deal of media coverage. The aim of research on this type of violence is to enhance, update, and renew our knowledge so as to bolster existing public policies and meet the need for new ones. Anticipating situations of violence and frameworks that facilitate it is crucial to combating it successfully and assisting and accompanying victims of it.

Fifteen years after the National survey on violence against women in France (ENVEFF), INED’s VIRAGE survey, conducted in 2015 with a sample of over 27,000 men and women living in ordinary households in metropolitan France is renewing our knowledge of violence against women and documenting violence against men for the first time. How frequently and in what spaces is such violence perpetrated? Are men and women confronted with it in the same way? Are the material and psychological impacts of it similar for the two sexes?

INED has a body of accessible resources that enhance and update our knowledge of violence of this kind, the contexts it arises in, and its impacts.
