Domestic violence is a crime that does exist in our society, regardless of  profession and social class and is one of the most prevalent forms of gender-based violence worldwide.

There are many obstacles a woman has to overcome to expose the violence she has suffered. Shame, guilt, fear of retaliation by the perpetrator, the feeling she has to cope with it on her own, lack of safe choices for children, insufficient information on rights and support services, language barriers and cultural barriers.
