Human Rights Day also reminds that violence committed against women is one of the most serious and most frequent human rights violation.

One in five women in Slovakia have experienced physical abuse from a partner or husband, one in two women has experienced some form of psychological violence from a partner, one in three women have been stalked by a partner in a physical or online space and one in 12 women have experienced sexual violence by partners. These are the results of the biggest European-wide research on violence on women by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights.
