Abstract

Since the Treaties of Rome, European gender equality policy has been evolving towards a nondistributive character of justice. A particular example of this is the growing interest in violence against women, or the gender-based violence, which the European Commission lists among the core issues to be tackled in reaching equality throughout the Union. The European gender equality policy, which had been also evolving in the form of soft law, brings new discoursive frameworks for gender-based violence. This contribution deals with the discoursive limits which help to conceptualize violence against women and create representations of victims of violence via the analysis of a survey on violence against women published by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA).
