520 _aThe aim of this thematic report is to carry out a comparative analysis of the criminal law provisions that are applied to gender-based violence against women, including domestic violence and online violence, at national level in Europe. It explores whether GBVAW is defined as a form of discrimination or a violation of the principle of equality. It identifies and defines ICT-facilitated violence and takes as examples two forms: non-consensual dissemination of intimate/private/sexual images, and hate speech based on gender. It also examines general aspects of enforcement and sanctioning that are particularly salient in the context of combating gender-based violence against women and domestic violence. The report examines 31 jurisdictions: the member states of the European Economic Area (EEA), that is, the 27 European Union Member States (EU-27) in addition to Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated, the report refers to the all jurisdictions under study as a totality. The report draws from the replies of 31 national experts on gender equality of the European network of legal experts in gender equality and non-discrimination (EELN) to a detailed questionnaire containing 12 sets of thematic questions. That questionnaire is annexed to this report. The country reports provided information on existing legislation, criminal definitions used, prosecution and sanctioning, case law, limitations, and emerging debates. This information was supplemented with information from the baseline reports of the Group of Experts on Action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (GREVIO) on those EU Member States that have ratified the Istanbul Convention and have been already evaluated, and with information gathered from previous thematic reports by the EELN, EU agencies and specific mapping studies. A brief description of the main general findings of each chapter of the report is outlined below. The details on specific countries are discussed in the main text of the report. (Authors' abstract).
