On 25 November, the Women's Information Center initiated the action "Don't be indifferent toward violence against women." It was in the center of Vilnius that many representatives of women's shelters took part. They distributed materials and information about organizations that provide help and support to victims of domestic violence. Afterward, there was a mini-concert to attract the attention of the public to the problem and encourage their civic feelings to interfere in the cases of domestic violence. The event was covered by the media.
