Minister without portfolio Tatiana Matsura she pointed out in the author's text for today's "Blic" that she was killed in 10 years 406 women and girls.
On the occasion of the National Day of Gender Equality, she pointed out that last year more than 32.000 emergency measures were issued against violent people, but that in only three percent of cases, the murdered women had previously reported the violence.
Matsura emphasized that reporting violence is the first and most important step in preventing further exposure to violence and preventing fatal outcomes.
"Without reporting, there is no reaction that can save life and there is no reaction to remove from the system those who do not live up to their obligations," said Matsura.
She added that society's task must be to encourage victims to report violence and to restore trust in the institutions of the system that prevent violence.
