uses as well. you have to try it out to see how it feels when you bring up the issue with someone. and i, a lot of people struggle to even say the word violence you. that's something we want to practice either in order to remove that vizier. yeah, we will defer when can you shy math 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, increasing shelter capacity, and ensuring a protective punishment for perpetrators calling the istanbul convention. an important breakthrough. maria, who said humor, adds that implementation is often problematic. in fact, turkey itself recently withdrew from the agreement. give eisen island against women is the biggest and their mccleary list of how it's execute. marines of i $1.00 and $3.00 women world wide velvet in austria, $1.00 and $5.00 women suffer violence from their partner at least once in their

lives, in agony, part of it often the secret gidgit only the scale of the thing that motivates me to take action. i want to provide support and encouragement for every single woman out there dixon. she runs a group of women's shelters, as well as pianos domestic abuse hotline and wants to expand these networks further . this hospital has a special program for training staff to deal with victims. sabina ceramic is the director of the victim support group. if i'm an explains what health professionals need to keep in mind when talking to traumatized women, this tick use is vital that you asked for their consent, right. the inch to the woman has to agree with everything you guys are doing not so she's experienced a must have violation of her own boundaries if you so while it's common for victims to feel ashamed, it's also important for staff to properly document injuries. and does this, did it?

this is a close up of her cheek nose and i see her. we also have photos of injuries to her neck problem. dyslexia photos that constitute evidence for criminal proceedings. and johnson from each new center is a separate vince very from a medical perspective. it's good to have a basis for the subsequent discussion, mo fluke to sing. so would you movies? so we try to document the injuries inflicted on an individual as comprehensively as possible in committee, so that she has the option of pursuing criminal charges, right, of. so before once a month, there's an inter departmental meeting. i am currently the additional hurdles posed by the corona virus or a major issue of concern for many women. the 1st resort for seeking help is a hospital. this uncommon in coming into hospital was so difficult that a lot of women didn't even try and populate. hm. and it's efficient going to the hospital after suffering violence is a hurdle. and now to also have to go through the trial process at the entrance

doubles. that hurdles here that feeling a lot of women had no way of getting out if they were unable to phone anybody for go to a shelter house, it was impossible to escape, which is while we've expanded our online counseling 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 $1000.00 calls. studies showed that when quarantine 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 will humor thought, honey, for odda, almost died when her husband assaulted her after 28 years of marriage, she reported him to the police. say my 1st look,

millersville twice i attempted suicide, not relish, thus i leave me. i was ashamed of what had happened of this and thus in a thing unable to save myself and help my children with her and that i never set off. when he hit my children in front of me, you shall. i love you haunt it took a long time up. you have got, we made it off. yeah. yeah, i got it off also by the start 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 led the perpetrator. no, the neighbors are listening and tells the victim that help is at hand. i can, oh perhaps i can ask a neighbor whether they also heard something on file. it helps to have other people . if you're wary of doing something on your own mouse jack of them, or in an acute case, it's always good to call the police and the bullet says, this mother and child home in munich brings back memories performing dongles.

after spending 6 months in a women's shelter, it was here that she found refuge with her 5 year old son. specialty college cut. of course i feel the sadness to you. they supposed to place it will be 3, you know, fries, ankle. but her son was not permitted to stay with her following a court order that gave the father custody warmish dongle had not documented her injuries. and therefore had no evidence of the physical abuse she suffered this as to so the shelters full right now. percent good. now, yes, we have a very long waiting list, sir. 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 it's done weekly, should our focus is on helping women find stability and come on food and find ways

of getting a new start in life. us hardware of my strength and what are my nights, my desire for 2 of the thoughtful about bringing a bit of lightness into their lives, lives, dish title and sleeping homey dongle has spent 5 years planning a new shelter designed to give residence a 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. one good offer, toys that are often it's a fab you off even if you introduce new ideas and. yeah, on dish. is that at all? but i'll carry on. i till i find a way of sticking stella isn't it has. then clathy and tried it's giving up is not an option for kwame stangler who is moved by the sheer number of women in need of help. she now wants to try crowd funding ah, being unable to exit an abusive relationship can have fatal consequences.

ah, 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 murders can look as if they're, they've just hummed spontaneously. 2 people have had an argument and this is just come out of the blue and, oh, goodness may, you know, this is just a mistake, but that's not how they happen. she established an 8 stage 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 exerts control over his partner, emotionally, 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 seemingly leaves the victim alone. but now he's planning murder and carries it out. alexandra sand. m has been assisting jane mountain smith on an unsolved case dating back 3 years ago. when his wife died. the husband insisted it had been an accident . what did the police fail to see how he is? we couldn't find an explanation as to why he'd got they and an email at the same time that she got it. how did, why was that? why was that even possible? yeah, and that's when we started to thank. is he tracking and found, has he got chief, the cache and software is everything that she guessing also being sent to him. because actually that is, that is a huge stack and it's costing stalker behavior. they want to know absolutely

everything. 90 percent of them aside cases are preceded by stalking me. the police subsequently arrested the husband in question. why couldn't they say that this was a homicide gus that needs to change? doesn't that lack of suspicion on his curiosity with her model, the police might have intervened in advance and in time, nice to say, hey, let me quickly. i already know we know i'm out. that's why probation officer, laura donnelly, has been using the 8 stages to train her team. well, you know, can you, i mean, are you finding that your own personal says and probation office is the using it? yes. most definitely ease and little. yeah. i've had some feedback from them about how useful that finding it. well, that's really good. it's often difficult for the police to get a read on abusive relationships. and early detection scheme helps to ensure action is taken immediately. so we obviously did and trained over

a 1000 staff on your 8 stages and they love the fact that it's and it's simple, but really, really supportive it and helping in their risk assessments. and some individuals with a history of domestic violence or given special attention by probation officers. this one here, the british police now see stalking as an early warning of potential violence. he's aware the trigger stage is another one that people have talked really and 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 stages just was just put into an order for you because we all know the signs. i think when i 1st spoke to you about the 8 stages, that was what really came across to me. it was like a light bulb made them where it wasn't something new. but it was something that was structured and formed in a way that greeley helped clarify my thinking that was absolutely fabulous. laura

jane martin smith is convinced that understanding coercive behavior can help victims. now the 8 stage model provides help on the ground to prevent them aside. i in the german city of marburg, campaigners are hoping to recruit men for the cause. ah, it's training night at the local rugby, clerk. yanine leuva and sabina schlagel are here with an idea of you well, have not neeb. i'm representing sabina schlagel is one of the coordinators have a local anti violence association. her team is launching a poster campaign aimed at boys and young men us once and to see what is

important to you about a subjective domestic violence position. and why do you want to get involved? emit what i'm saying by for me, violence is never a solution or whether it's a push or a laugh, or an actual punch. largest e. glad to domestic violence, always takes place with the curtains close to one in private at home. when nobody else sees it is dish, that's why it's important to stand up and raise awareness about the problem all by making it more public. the sky toward the campaign is about taking a stand for equality breaking down stereotypical gender roles, challenging the power structures that enable and encourage violence against women. the no domestic abuse project and mar book one 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. and so the latter works

with behavioral training for 6 months. participants attend the program headed by cost and digna, and sabina schlager. today they're reviewing the results of the most recent group session that of to you as discussed at their own bias, but they don't write what the violence actually is movable by scientists. and looking at this group is what when he pulls me, yes, computer. many abusers feel no guilt if anything, they say they were provoked as drastic. this, when you get the classic response, i was a slip of the hand. the need to understand that the hand is not in a vacuum. the of up there is somebody behind that hand. and that's the 1st step towards accepting responsibility. today, cost and digna 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 . do you see how are you? mickey is very good, but i've been doing a lot of thinking and i've realized

a lot of things. oh, him knocking on the linked stress and how about stress? do you recognize it in yourself? wounds is a sarah? yeah. the school. yes. it's and i sense what the other person is feeling it is to brush be, let's of there's an argument, it's best to leave of akin housekeeper. it's things like that i put into practice. and i notice that it works pretty well. he said good. in his case, the assault occurred one evening 2 years ago after an argument that took place when he was drunk done is does, he wouldn't be to, is it escalated and done? then she went outside and tried to call the police movement. it was just the one punch shock. nobody's but it was one to many so and it really landed the od canoga toughen. he broke the woman's jaw and spent the night in a police drunk tank. it was zuka shook to boom. i was shocked that i was able to do such a thing. the gib isn't been on tuesdays,

i am pulled so me and it showed me most i immediately needed to get help with joan sinton. d, mid on his. the behavioral training program requires the men to work on themselves . another aspect of violence prevention. you couldn't, he can't reach every one up with just one tiny piece in a mosaic, a network of domestic violence help systems survive. and we're pretty limited tenens in our area. back to the rugby club, where players posed for the new posters. ro, written in here though that guy will be here, where the light is on in the foreground, with the panorama behind him. oh yeah. the women's team have already posed for the photographer. now it's the men's turn with the team spokesman at the center he did pluto, macos meant to stay for stephen king. you are challenging this new job either you are a wall saying you'll have to get past me 1st coming from left tough guys making a tough stance on what some people see as
