Home without violence

From March 10 to 16, 2025, the Vitebsk region will host the republican preventive campaign "A Home Without Violence!", the goal of which is to involve broad segments of the population in assisting and supporting state bodies in solving the problem of domestic violence, implementing systemic measures of individual crime prevention, and preventive measures against citizens who commit domestic violence.

The family is one of the greatest values created by humanity throughout its history. No nation, no cultural community has existed without a family. Every person, regardless of age, needs a strong, reliable family. Domestic violence occurs behind closed doors, but it is undoubtedly a problem for the entire society. Domestic violence is the most common form of violence against women. According to studies conducted in several countries by the World Health Organization, up to 70% of women have experienced physical violence from their intimate partner or husband at least once in their lives.

Violence in any form is unacceptable to society. Where there is domestic violence, there is no family.

In many families with a reputation for being decent and prosperous, quiet violence often occurs. Identifying such facts is often complicated by the fact that the victim, fearing to spoil the family's reputation and destroy the appearance of false well-being, does not dare to seek help not only from state bodies but also from acquaintances, relatives, and friends. However, human patience is not infinite, and sometimes a calm, sweet woman tired of a tyrannical husband, or a child constantly bullied by parents, becomes a murderer.
