Such figures show that citizens, regardless of gender, age, social status, etc., recognize domestic violence as a problem and are not afraid to declare it.
At the same time, as Ekaterina Pavlichenko emphasized, the increase in the level of awareness and awareness of citizens contributes to the strengthening of the mechanisms of prevention and response to violence.
