- Sexual violence is a violent act in which a person is forced, threatened, or deceived into engaging in any form of sexual activity against his or her wishes.
- Psychological violence is harm to a person’s psychological health, manifested in insults, intimidation, threats, blackmail, control, etc.
- Economic violence is material pressure that can manifest itself in a ban on studying, working, deprivation of financial support, and complete control over income.
Hundreds of thousands of Belarusian women and children face manifestations of domestic violence, but only a few cases reach the court, because “washing dirty linen in public” is not customary. But it is simply necessary to counteract such phenomena!
