A study published by the European Commission revealed that 13% of the Irish people believe women partially to blame for sexual assaults when affected by alcohol or drugs, showing a complex and troubling view towards consent and accountability.
The Eurobarometer poll highlighted that 20% of Irish citizens think women exaggerate claims of rape or abuse, reflecting higher skepticism compared to the EU average, thus underscoring societal challenges surrounding trust and victim narratives.
Additionally, 32% of Irish respondents felt that women sharing intimate pictures were at least partially responsible for their images being shared without consent, indicating a disturbing trend in victim-blaming attitudes, although this remains lower than the EU average.
On coercive control, Irish attitudes were notably critical, with a significant portion of citizens acknowledging coercive behaviors in relationships, suggesting an awareness that may differ from their views on other aspects of gender-based violence.
