Campaign
The following 16 days are International Day of Activism against Violence on Women. NGOs and UN Foundation fight against the domestic violence phenomenon.
In our capital, two campaigns meant to raise awareness of the phenomenon of domestic violence have simultaneously started. From today to December 10, a campaign under the name "Home is not a prison. Leave before it's too late! " takes place in the Tineretului Park in Bucharest. Here, a cell will be placed, looking exactly like those of the prison for women in Targsor . Leaflets will be handed to passers by, showing statistics of the number of cases in which women are abused at home and alternative solutions to the physical violence or to the other extreme situation: the one in which the woman is transformed from a victim into an aggressor.
Today also, the UN Population Fund and the UN Information Center for Romania triggered, in partnership with several institutions of the state, and cultural centers, the campaign called "Women in the shadows. Shadows. " The goal is the same: combating violence against women. "The series of seven documentary films - which will be broadcasted by the national television and will run on cinema screens - is an echo of the voices of women worldwide who have survived abuse. Also, through the theater plays associated with the campaign, the public will be brought closer to the drama and suffering of these women.
Those interested will thus find out more about this phenomenon which is growing lately, according to the latest statistics. 4395 women were victims of domestic violence this year. 9 of them died.

you know, there have been 57 women killed so far this year. A great number!
a real pity and a great loss!
57-where? In Spain? In Europe?
There was a comment in this article I got my data from saying just that: some women ask for it.
I can't believe it! And the one who wrote knew enough to post a comment on-line!
In Spain.
Oh.It's a lot, indeed. I'm sorry.
