Study Concludes 800,000 Romanian Women Were Victims of Domestic Violence in 2003

Friday, December 19, 2003 12:00 PM

The NGO Partnership for Equality Center conducted a study funded by the Open Society Institute which concluded that 800,000 Romanian women suffered domestic violence in 2003. The Center's findings include the following:

45 percent of domestic violence victims do not know that domestic violence is a crime, and
80 percent of domestic violence victims do not report the crime because of feelings of shame, fear and mistrust of the authorities.
