Violence against women
Within Eastern Europe women’s rights are often abused for various reasons. Attitudes need to change from the old Communist days when a woman’s place was deemed to be in the home to cook, produce children and not be heard or have a view. Associated with violence against women that often goes unchecked is alcohol consumption in these Countries that produce their own alcohol, as often within the household there are wine groves within the garden areas
In recent years a new phenomena has arrived with the opening up of international borders and less restrictions in the form of people trafficking by organized crime gangs that entice all to easily local women with promises of highly paid jobs abroad and high salaries to what they can earn at home. For many living at the poverty level the temptation is to much to resist and they in many cases find to their horror that they have been trafficked and are raped by their captors and forced into prostitution with beatings and torture for non compliance.
We openly support the Police and educate to prevent all forms of violence against woman.
A family living in absolute poverty can often see tempers fray and family members become innocent victims. We visit these families were we see a possible danger and again counsel to overcome any major problems before they occur thus saving women and children from becoming victims of family violence and we advise those seeking work abroad on the correct methods of obtaining this on a legal and safe basis, so as to avoid being trafficked and abused.
