2:32 am
organized a dance flash mobs on valentine's day to protest domestic violence. i just read it as i've always done for the truth that they join other groups in some 200 countries around the world all dancing to the same choreography yes. it's the 4th time alexander and almost on go are organizing the event here in munich. just one cup each one of a class $1000000000.00 rising has this amazing power dads provide such a positive statement and the paucity of. bias instead of people just standing in protest with victims continue to be stigmatized to mention this is simply about giving women a chance to dance together. ted says this is what we want to do and i will be a lawyer lively protests like the last one held downtown are on hold at the moment due to the corona virus pandemic and we have to find an alternative to doing it on
2:33 am
the street i never thought i could make some inquiries with the binding unit women's team. if they did allow us to do that don't join the half time and pray it isn't tons of speaking up on an issue that is often sidelined and silenced in germany a woman is killed by a current or former male partner every 3 days one in 4 women will suffer from some form of the mystic violence at least once in her life of phenomenon that impacts women across all social groups. wants to help bring about change today she's taking action with a photographic portrait project. and in that i'm not sure because the that is you can have an. i'm looking forward to what's in your folder that's what i'm about to . do you think takes photos of abused women for national geographic magazine.
2:34 am
except thing i brought along a few photos to give you an impression of our work today at. her portraits bear witness to an ordeal that 45 year old girl knows all too well systematic abuse through humiliation threats and physical violence. after 6 years of torment left her partner she's one of the countless women who experts designate as survivors the term speaks to just how difficult it is to leave a violent relationship with the mother. highlights a gradual healing process being able to tell yourself yes this is what happened to me and i can do something for the world by talking about it. her ordeal began with verbal insults but gradually escalated into physical abuse her partner ended up locking her inside their home manipulating her to such a degree that she believed it was her own fault it's
2:35 am
a typical pattern is hard to this promise to class the problem i still don't know why are allowed it to happen and how i didn't see that this was physical abuse i had a kind of going to she saw what i needed to lose able to deny me that i didn't insult and gradually he may be dependent dogfish took now admission up english. in the 1st year after we met in the courtship i guess he really seemed to worship me. he was a lovely man he knew how to listen to a lot of money that also enabled him to find out everything he needed to know what happened in the years after that list only knew where he could apply the pressure from contra eventual he she left and found refuge with her son in a women's shelter in her work if you know nepal has seen society's tendency to blame the victim and relativize the abusers actions is the smiting my own aim with this work is to help encourage people to become more efficient than. it's
2:36 am
ridiculous to society not to look and see what's happening. we all have a role to play see and fast this is a structural problem isn't flocked to trial it. is not just campaigning for greater general awareness. she's also setting up a project to provide immediate help to women who need. to sell him and christine a cop have taken to the streets of vienna their goal is to encourage people to intervene if they suspect abuse. inspired by a german partner abuse project called stop. decided to bring the concept to austria . some cases of domestic violence do involve women as the perpetrators but in 81 percent it's women who are the victims. yeah
2:37 am
we need to learn about how to intervene you have to try it out to see how it feels when you bring up the issue with someone i know a lot of people struggle to even say the word violence what is that something we want to practice in order to remove that of fear. and shine out the for raising awareness is important but government involvement is essential since 2011 the istanbul convention on combating violence against women has been ratified by over 30 european countries signatories commit to supporting measures such as prevention through education and increasing shelter capacity and ensuring effective punishment for perpetrators calling the istanbul convention an important breakthrough. homer adds that implementation is often problematic and fact turkey itself recently withdrew from the agreement. on islands against women is the biggest and then make their release if it's experienced by one in 3 women worldwide in austria one in 5
2:38 am
women suffer violence from their partner at least once in their lives if you bought the vehicle the 2nd good show is the scale of the thing that motivates me to take action i want to provide support and encouragement for every single woman out there . she runs a group of women's shelters as well as be honest domestic abuse hotline and wants to expand these networks further. this hospital has a special program for training staff to deal with victims sabina is the director of the victim support group and explains what health professionals need to keep in mind when talking to traumatized women. the stick use it is vital that you lost but that consent right to the woman has to agree with everything you guys are doing. she's experienced a massive violation of her own boundaries. is that while it's common for victims to
2:39 am
feel ashamed it's also important for staff to properly document injuries. and this is that this is a close up of head cheek nose and i see her we also have photos of injuries to her neck view. the photos that constitute evidence for criminal proceedings are for me to say to you just from a medical perspective it's good to have a basis for the subsequent discussion. with your movies so we try to document the injuries inflicted on an individual as comprehensively as possible so that she has the option of pursuing criminal charges but. once a month there's an interdepartmental meeting you are currently the additional hurdles posed by the corona virus are a major issue a concern for many women the 1st resort for seeking help is a hospital this. coming into hospital was so difficult there's a lot of women didn't even try. this isn't going to the hospital after suffering
2:40 am
violence is a hurdle and now to also have to go through the tree process of the entrance doubles that hurdle that if you have a lot of women had no way of getting out if they were unable to phone anybody or go to a shelter it was impossible to escape which is why we've expanded our online counselling service it's now staffed every evening from 7 till 10 and it's working pretty well in the 1st 9 months of the pandemic the hotline had already fielded over 1000 calls studies show that one porn teen at home is combined with financial worries and mental health problems the risk of a relationship turning violent doubles. the pandemic is also an issue for the women who meet up as part of a local neighborhood project. they gather every 2 weeks to talk about violent relationships including their own i need almost died when her husband assaulted her
2:41 am
after 28 years of marriage she reported him to the police slammer for the twice i attempted suicide hundreds of those highly risky i was ashamed of what had happened . being unable to save myself and help my children. and that i never said when he hit my children in front of my home. home it took a long time you know but we made it yeah you know. the stop project encourages vigilance and extending basic kinds of support asking a woman how you can help or intervening with an innocuous excuse such as ringing the doorbell to ask for a cup of flour this lets the perpetrator know the neighbors are listening and tells the victim that help is at hand. all perhaps i can ask and they are whether they also heard something well it helps to have other people if you are wary of doing something on your own of them or in an acute case it's always good to call the police and reported since. this mother in child home in munich brings back memories
2:42 am
for all me strong goes. after spending 6 months in a women's shelter it was here that she found refuge with her 5 year old son. spirit polished at the course i feel the sadness. this was the place where we felt free. but her son was not permitted to stay with her following a court order that gave the father custody. had not documented her injuries and therefore had no evidence of the physical abuse she suffered this has so the shelters full right now is good oh yes we have a very long waiting lists. women typically have to wait 6 months for a spot here unlike the high security women's shelter they are allowed to have visitors but once the british food our focus is on helping women find stability and
2:43 am
calm when trying to find ways of getting a new start in life where my strengths what a minute i smile designed to do if it's also about bringing a bit of lightness into their lives. something else. has spent 5 years planning a new shelter designed to give residents of feeling of safety as well as comprehensive after care the local authorities have refused to support the project claiming that demand for a place like this is already satisfied. for tourists at $85.00 you off even if you introduce new ideas. but i'll carry on items i found a way. to test them quietly and tried it. giving up is not an option for those who is moved by the sheer number of women in need of help she now wants to try crowdfunding. for.
2:44 am
being unable to exit an abusive relationship can have fatal consequences. high risk relationships can end in manslaughter or murder an area in which jane mountain smith has discovered recurring patterns the criminologist applies those insights to so-called cold cases very often domestic abuse marriages can look as if then they just happened spontaneously 2 people have had an argument and this is just come out of the. goodness maybe you know this is just a mistake but that's not how they happened she established an 8 states pattern of regression in the escalation of abusive relationships in many cases the man will have a previous record of violence the initial romance rapidly becomes a serious relationship the abuser exert control over his partner emotionally
2:45 am
financially and socially and events such as a separation makes the man feel he's losing control the situation escalates into stalking or threats of suicide the man changes tactics as he similarly leaves the victim alone but now he's planning murder and carries it out. alexandra sanden has been assisting jane monton smith on an unsolved case dating back 3 years when his wife died the husband insisted it had been an accident. what did the police fail to see if we couldn't find an explanation as to why he got the and an e-mail at the same time that she got it how did why was that why was that even possible and that's when we started to think is he tracking a fan has he got the cash and software is everything that she's getting also being sent to him. because actually that is that is
2:46 am
a huge that i mean it's classic stalker behavior they want to know absolutely everything 90 percent of femicide cases are preceded by stocking the police subsequently arrested the husband in question why couldn't they see that this is a homicide that's that needs to change doesn't. that lack of suspicion because curiosity with her model the police might have intervened in advance and in time i see my day was basically turning now i know america that's why probation officer laura donnelly has been using the 8 stages to train her teen well you can you mean i'll tell you finding that your. prison officers and probation officers are using that yes most definitely is a little yeah i've had some feedback from them about how useful that i'm doing it wrong but it's really. it's often difficult for the police to get a read on abusive relationships and early detection scheme helps to ensure action
2:47 am
is taken immediately so we obviously did and trained over a 1000 start on your 8 stages so they love the fact that it's simple but really really supportive in helping in their risk assessment and some individuals with a history of domestic violence are given special attention by probation officers this one here the british police now see stocking as an early warning of potential violence the trick is stage is another one that people have talked really given good feedback about because triggers is where we can identify those and then hopefully intervene at that point in time so it's about recognizing what action we can put in place when those triggers come about everybody's aware and that's the thing it's the a stage is as it was just puts it into an order for you because we all know the signs i think when i 1st spoke to you about the stages that was what really came across to be a it was like a lightbulb maidment where it wasn't something new but it was something that was
2:48 am
structured and formed in a way that really helped clarify my thinking that was absolutely fabulous jane monckton smith is convinced that understanding coercive behavior can help victims. now. provides help on the ground to prevent. in the german city of. campaigners are hoping to recruit men for the call. it's training night. here with an idea. it is a big national a go is one of the coordinators of a local antiviolence association. her team is launching a poster campaign aimed at boys and young men. just one sentence here what is
2:49 am
important for you about the subject of domestic and i said why do you want to get involved in it but also vote for me violence is never a solution or whether it's a push or a slap or an actual punch. domestic violence always takes place with the curtains closed in private at home where nobody else sees it that's why it's important to stand up and raise awareness about the problem by making it more public. the campaign is about taking a stand for you quality breaking down stereotypical gender roles challenging the power structures that enable and encourage violence against women. the no domestic abuse project in march 1 european union funding it has the support of the city authorities as well as local groups the women helping women association provides counseling and support and a youth conflict prevention group works with perpetrators. letter works with
2:50 am
behavioral training for 6 months participants attend a program headed by constant dragnet and sabina schlegel today they're reviewing the results of the most recent group session. that they were in violence but they don't write what the violence actually year. and looking at this group is what we have told me that yes. many abusers feel no guilt if anything they say they were provoked as trust this is when you get the classic response he was asleep at the hand they need to understand that the hand is not in a vacuum in the up there's somebody behind that hand and that's the 1st step towards accepting responsibility. today cost and doug now has a last meeting with a former participant. most of the men who come here are sent by court order this man who wishes to remain anonymous is one of the few to have registered voluntarily
2:51 am
you can see why you may get to see very good i've been doing a lot of thinking and i've realized a lot of things nothing the. stress and how about stress do you recognize it in yourself. yes and i sense what the other person is feeling and it's a bunch of people so if there's an argument it's best to leave. it's things like that i put into practice and i notice that it works pretty well. in his case the assault occurred one evening 2 years ago after an argument that took place when he was drunk does it be true is it escalated and then she went outside and tried to call the police and it was just the one punch but it was one too many and it really landed. he broke the woman's jaw and spent the night in a police drunk tank. i was shocked that i was able to do such
2:52 am
a thing. and it showed me i immediately needed to get help in the middle and his the behavioral training program requires the men to work on themselves another aspect of violence prevention if we can't reach everyone with just one tiny piece in a mosaic a network of domestic violence help systems and we're pretty limited i want you to go. back to the rugby club where players pose for the new posters. so that guy will be here where the light is in the foreground with the panorama behind him you know. the women's team have already posed for the photographer now it's the men's turn with the team spokesman at the center. if. you're challenging this. you're a wall saying you'll have to get past me 1st. tough guys making
2:53 am
a tough stance on what some people see as a women's issue and challenging entrenched stereotypes of gender roles. because it. would work well. for. this country i want a mother says not some women says you know it's up to the feminists to take care of things men are health to. joining forces to help would use violence in relationships this is not a typical subject matter that affects us all but didn't. work . so hard to get for many posters who we need how many affiliates to we have. in total $109.00.
2:54 am
in munich alexander and almost all gone now want to recruit local bakers for the 1000000000 rising campaign the plan is to distribute specially designed paper bags and baking goods bearing an anti-violence slogan. yes which one do you want in our shops. what do you think of the service with this one you can see the individual craftsmanship that one has printed. this month you have the post isn't floss in the shops anyway so that something will stand out. so. they'll be printing and distributing $120000.00 paperbacks as part of a campaign to mark the international day for the elimination of violence against women is just the sort of imposition visit that will be a bit longer so we can fold the top so. have you only one in 5 women
2:55 am
who suffer violent assaults seek help. you know i'm going to say we're. if we have a very high proportion of women in our shops they're going to talk of course this is an issue that tends to be hushed up we should all be doing something to increase awareness so come on is to. give us a good talking about it helps. show that women in germany now speak an octave lower than 10 years ago and that's because they have more self-confidence both you have the will now they say stop that's going to help that this woman didn't used to say that it's the stress hormones it's a growing global movement calling for gender equality while also combating one of society's greatest evils to ending violence against women as a cause that's worth fighting for if you have to plan until my dying day i'm going to be 100 percent committed to changing people's mentality did we need to empower
