dc.description.abstractGender-based violence remains an issue of concern worldwide and in the EU. European citizens even consider gender-based violence as being the most urgent gender equality issue that needs to be tackled. This topic has also very much interested scholars, which have often adopted the use of a frame analysis to study the issue. However, no study until now has specifically focused on the framing of gender-based violence under the latest von der Leyen Commission (2019-2024) and no study has specifically analyzed the way the political groups of the European Parliament have framed the issue during this particular time frame. This thesis therefore aims to see how the main seven political groups of the European Parliament, namely: the EPP, the S&D, Renew Europe, The Greens/EFA, the ECR, the I&D and the Left have framed the issue of gender-based violence in their publications during the latest von der Leyen Presidency. This thesis finds overall that right wing and extreme right groups such as the ECR and the I&D are more likely to rely on existing frames and stereotypical representations of the issue in their publications, especially frames that depict gender-based violence as a problem related to migration. On the other hand, left leaning and more moderate groups, such as the EPP, the S&D, Renew Europe, the Greens/EFA and the Left are more likely to use the opposite of existing frames and generally depict gender-based violence as being a thematic and societal problem that requires an intersectional perspective to tackle the issue.
