A European Approach to Ending Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence

In this IIEA event, which has been organised to mark International Women's Day, an expert panel shares their perspectives on the recently agreed EU Directive to combat Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence. The panel discusses the various measures contained within the Directive and assesses whether the Directive goes far enough in placing enough onus on EU Member States to tackle violence against women. This panel includes Frances Fitzgerald MEP, Member of the European Parliament and Rapporteur of the Directive, Sarah Benson, CEO of Woman's Aid and Rachel Morrogh CEO of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre
