{{short description|Proposal for an EU Directive by the European Commission}}

The '''Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence''' is an EU [[Directive (European Union) | Directive]] proposal by the [[European Commission]] tabled on 8 March 2022.<ref>{{cite news |last=Goujard  |first=Clothilde |date= 8 March 2022|title=Commission wants EU governments to get tougher on violence against women  |url= https://www.politico.eu/article/commission-eu-governments-violence-against-women-iwd/|work= Politico|location= |access-date=15 June 2022}}</ref>

The [[European Commission]] proposed an EU-wide legislation in this area following a request to act by the [[European Parliament]]. In September 2021, [[Members of the European Parliament]] called on the European Commission to legislate to prevent violence against women and support the victims. The objective of the initiative was to make violence against women and domestic violence a crime under EU law, along with already criminalized conduct such as cybercrime, sexual exploitation and money laundering for example.<ref>{{cite news |author=European Parliament|date= 5 October 2021|title=How the EU is tackling gender-based violence |url= https://www.eureporter.co/politics/violence-against-women-politics/2021/10/05/how-the-eu-is-tackling-gender-based-violence/|work= eureporter|location= |access-date=15 June 2022}}</ref>

Under the proposal by the European Commission gender-based violence would be indeed considered as a crime under Article 83 of the [[Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union]].<ref>{{cite news |last= García Pérez |first= Iratxe |date=8 March 2022 |title=This International Women's Day, Europe must do more to end gender-based violence |url= https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/03/08/this-international-women-s-day-europe-must-do-more-to-end-gender-based-violence|work= Euronews|location= |access-date=15 June 2022}}</ref>

The initiative was called for by the [[European Women's Lobby]] in order to translate into [[EU]] legislation the standards of the [[Istanbul Convention]] on gender-based violence.<ref>{{cite news |last=Norton  |first=Hannah |date=25 November 2021 |title=16 days of activism: Brussels organisations tackle gender-based violence |url= https://www.euractiv.com/section/global-europe/news/16-days-of-activism-brussels-organisations-tackle-gender-based-violence/|work= Euractiv|location= |access-date=15 June 2022}}</ref>
