dc.description.notesGeneral Overview: This paper reviews European studies of interpersonal violence and its impact on health and human rights.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: This paper examines national European prevalence studies on interpersonal violence. The studies are listed and their methodology analysed. Differences in methodology mean that it is difficult to compare the data. There are many studies of violence against women, and estimates of the lifetime prevalence of physical and/or sexual violence against women by current and former partners range between 4% and over 30%. Studies of violence against men are scarce. One Germany study of 200 men found that a quarter had experienced physical violence by their most recent partner.<br/ ><br/ >The paper also considers violence against immigrant, migrant and ethnic minority women, children and youth, elderly people, disabled people, homosexuals and bisexuals and prostitutes.<br/ ><br/ >Some prevalence surveys about violence include questions about the health impact of violence. This paper describes the different methods of measuring the health impact, and notes that all studies find that victims of violence have a lower general health status, more physical and psychological problems, and more difficulties in their family, social and professional lives than people who have not experienced violence.<br/ ><br/ >Finally, the authors discuss the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and articles 3 (security of person), 5 (freedom from cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment) and 25 (right to adequate standard of living). They note that the few studies that examine the long term impact of violence show that violence can disrupt access to education, work, social integration and economic resources, meaning that the experience of violence breaches not only articles 3 and 5 but also 25.en
