The notion that domestic violence is a marginal issue is still persistent in our society. However, the experience of police and victims support services, as well as the prevalence studies prove that domestic violence is a widespread problem that affects huge amount of women as well as men. Raise awareness campaigns and common discussions on various strategies to tackle this form of violence are crucial. For this reason, I join the White Ribbon Campaign, a global movement of men speaking up against violence against women.
