Knowledge and Know-how :: the role of self-defence in the prevention of violence against women / Directorate General for Internal Policies, EPRS .-- :, November 2016 .-- 60 p. Recurso online
This study, commissioned by the European Parliament Policy Department for
Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs upon request by the FEMM Committee,
examined research on the effectiveness of self-defence and its place in policies at
EU and Member State levels. It concludes that there is a growing evidence base
that feminist self-defence can be effective in preventing violence. Whilst
references to self-defence are present in the EU and Council of Europe policy
documents, they are not substantial and yet to be developed into a coherent
approach. Self-defence should be considered a promising practice and be better
promoted and supported. More space should be made for it in policy, financing
and research.
