This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.This scoping review examines gender-based violence in Europe, including intimate partner violence, stalking, workplace sexual harassment, and non-partner sexual violence. It analyzes 48 empirical studies (2019–2024) in English from British and European contexts, excluding US-based research and COVID-19–only studies. While legal frameworks and support systems have evolved through initiatives like the Istanbul Convention, gender-based violence remains prevalent and perpetuates inequality. Most research focuses on intimate partner violence, underscoring a need for deeper exploration of stalking and workplace sexual harassment. Male victims are often overlooked, leading to underreporting and dissatisfaction with services. The review highlights the importance of qualitative research into victim and perpetrator experiences, as well as the motivations behind violence. Inclusive policies, enhanced professional training, and increased funding are crucial to address these gaps.
