Six thousand orders against domestic violence issued in past two years
Six thousand orders against aggression in families have been issued by police for the past two years.
Data of General Police Inspectorate shows that since March 2017 - when new law on combating violence was reinforced - 95% of aggressors are men.
Officials also said that every week a person is killed due to violence. Five victims of this phenomenon annually are prone to suicide, just to get rid of the ordeal they are going through.
In 2018, abuses are reported mostly in Ialoveni, Orhei, Balti and Chisinau.
A victim also presented at the press conference to share her stories. She endured her husband only for the sake of two children.
"I was grown up without father and I don't want my children without father, too. When everything was beyond my limit, I decided to divorce. I live now with my children and everything is alright", says Nicoleta, a victim of domestic violence.
Representative of Association against violence said that most victims hesitated to denounce abuses due to stereotype in society.
Alcohol, conflicts and lack of education are the main causes that lead to domestic violence.
