They will also need to increase public awareness that non-consensual sex is a criminal offence.<br \/>\n<strong>WHY IT\u2019S IMPORTANT<\/strong><br \/>\nEuropean Commission data reveal that one in three women in the 27-nation bloc has experienced some type of violence, often from intimate partners.<br \/>\nMoreover, 600,000 women in Europe have undergone female genital mutilation.<br \/>\nAlthough these offences are considered crimes in most individual member states, and female genital mutilation is illegal in all member states, there are gaps in national laws of some countries and differences in legal frameworks.<br \/>\n\u201cToday, Parliament has taken the first steps to make Europe the first continent in the world to end violence against women. This is a wide-ranging piece of legislation that will prevent violence against women, protect victims and prosecute perpetrators, thereby ensuring a holistic approach to tackling these heinous crimes. There can be no equality without eradication of violence against women. We must ensure that there can be no impunity for those who commit such crimes,\u201d said Frances Fitzgerald, co-rapporteur for the Women\u2019s Rights and Gender Equality Committee.<br \/>\n<strong>WHAT\u2019S NEXT<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new rules will come into force 20 days after they have been published in the EU Official Journal.
