Denouncing domestic violence cases

National Network Against Violence Against Women and Family Violence shows that most victims are women, then men and children. The percentage of victims of domestic violence may be far worse, but it is often because of fear that cases will not be denounced.

While according to Ana Avramoska -Nhoushkova, of the National Network Against Violence in Family, says economic uncertainty mostly contributes to women's reluctance to flee the bully.

“Turns out that 42% of women who are victims of domestic violence, because they don't have financial opportunities, lack of property or lack of support from relatives or leave the environment where they're victims of violence, or leave and then come back. Also, the reluctance to express violence affects prejudice of opinion, people's words to each other, point to them, in smaller environments it is even more pronounced because everyone knows each other. Concern is the high level of lack of trust in institutions, which is not always justified” said Ana Avramoska -Nohuskova - National Network Against Violence Against Women and Family Violence.

According to Internal Affairs Ministry data, domestic violence mostly is women, mothers, and then girls.

The main role of action in such cases is the Centre for Social Work, which victims often say by the National Network Against Violence on Women and Violence in the Family has voiced complaints about some lack of interest in them.

The Alsat has certain information that such ones are sent to Cicino Selo, which is the shelter center for the homeless and not to domestic violence victims.

However, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy as home to domestic violence victims cites 6 centres for scattered housing throughout the country's territory.
