The Survey on the Safety and Quality of Life of Women (EU-GBV), was conducted by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia in 2021. The main objective of the survey is to collect data on the incidence of gender-based violence in the Republic of Serbia. The survey covered intimate partner violence, domestic violence, non-partner violence, stalking, sexual harassment at work, childhood violence, general experiences with crime, and more.

The indicator refers to women aged 18 to 74, not to the entire population.
