Why is it interesting?
The event is held to build momentum ahead of the “16 Days Against Violence” annual international campaign.

This period is particularly true for Ukraine: On February 24, 2022, a full-blown war, synonymous with the concept of violence, started in our country.

Although the police recorded a drop in domestic violence reports at the beginning of the war, this does not doesn’t necessarily mean that incidents were actually down. The problem is that victims are less likely to report such cases.
