abuse through humiliation, threats and physical violence. after 6 years of torment or miss dongle 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. men come to see it as much to kyle. it's 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 is true. bush pleasure. her ordeal began with verbal insults, but gradually escalated into physical abuse of 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 a typical pattern which basil beside finished armies took less than half m still don't know why i allowed it to happen and how i didn't see that this was the physical abuse. i had a current window shuttle. what i needed was able to deny me that on me at, in,

in so could look him let's and gradually he made me dependent on christa now and mission an up english kite imaging reports in the 1st year after we met in the courtship. i asked, he really seemed to worship me. do that sufficiently leaked and m as in apple, he was a lovely man. he knew how to listen to all our money is like that also enabled him to find on everything he like to know what happened in the years after that it was less than he knew where he could apply the pressure at some content. eventually she laughed and found refuge with her son in a women's shelter. in her work irina annual has seen society's tendency to blame the victim and relative eyes, the abusers actions once he is this man is our abbe. my aim with this work is to help encourage people to become more fisher and translating the sphere vast. some of it's ridiculous to society not and look and see what's happening. we all have a relative delay z in fuss passed. this is a structural problem to via flocked assistance torbella's protein come to the

homepage dongle is not just campaigning for greater general awareness homes. if nigel and she's also setting up a project to provide immediate health to women who needed birth. maria, who said humor, and christina cobb have taken to the streets of vienna. their goal is to encourage people to intervene, that they suspect abuse. inspired by a german partner abuse project called stop. but here who said, huh, decided to bring the concept to austria. ah, some cases of domestic violence do involve women as the perpetrators united, but in 81 percent. it's women who are the victims the hum, yet we need to learn about how to intervene, 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 of what you. that's

something we want to practice either in order to remove that vizier. yeah, we will defer when can you shy master 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 islands against women is the biggest thing, and they make their realistic of how it's experienced by one and 3 women worldwide belford in austria, one and 5 women suffer violence from their partner at least once in their lives in agony, part of it often. the secret digital 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 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 ticket, it is vital that you ask for their consent, right? the inch to the woman has to agree with everything you guys are doing to tools. so if you don't, so she's experienced a musty violation of her own boundary safe while it's common for victims to feel ashamed. it's also important for staff to properly document injuries. and thus is did. this is a close out of her cheek nose and i see her. we also have photos of injuries to her

neck if your problem, dyslexia photos that constitute evidence for criminal proceedings. and gunston 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 flew to sing, so would you movies? so we try to document the injuries inflicted on an individual as comprehensively as possible you into movies so that she has the option of pursuing criminal charges. that 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 at an common and coming into hospital was so difficult that a lot of women didn't even try and it's probably a tom and his decision going to the hospital after suffering violence is the hurdle . and now to also have to go through the trash process at the entrance doubles that hurdle to hear that feel if a lot of women had no way of getting out if they were unable to phone anybody for

go to a shelter ha, it was impossible to escape, which is while we've expanded our online counseling services, 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 or human thought. anita odda almost died when her husband assaulted her. you please, after 28 years of marriage, she reported him to the police. yes, sir. my 1st military twice i attempted suicide alleged thus i leave me. i was ashamed of what had happened was in

a thing unable to save myself and help my children with her. and that i never set starts when he hit my children in front of me. um, you just loved the hunt. it took a long time up here, but we made it off. yeah, yeah, i got it off also by 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, let the perpetrator know 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, small stack of a mac or an acute case, it's always good to call the police and well, it takes this mother and child home in munich brings back memories for a while. me, stock goes ah,

after spending 6 months in a women's shelter, it was here that she found refuge with her 5 year old son. is spotty, harvest cut. of course i feel the sadness to you. this was the place that we still 3 downsize ankle. but her son was not permitted to stay with her following a court ordered 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 the shelters full right now. percent. good. now yes, we have a very long waiting list, the 3rd 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, bickley, should our focus is on helping women find stability and come on foot and find ways of getting a new start in life. us how glad my strength is against. what am i night? my desire for 2 of the thoughtful about bringing

a bit of lightness into their lives, like dish title and sleep. something hamish 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. monkwood offer toys such an offer on it. a fab you off even if you introduce new ideas and. yeah, on dish is bad at all, but i'll carry on. i till i find a way of sticking. stella isn't to test than clathy and chide 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 crowdfunding ah, 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 to criminology supplies those insights to so called cold cases. very often, domestic appeasement is, 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 change his 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 me if we couldn't find an explanation as to why he'd got thee and an email at the same time that she'd got it? how did, why was that? why was that even possible and asked when we started to thank is tracking and found, has he got chiefly cash and software is everything that she getting also being sent to him. because actually that is, that is a huge stack and it's classic 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 it? that lack of suspicion is curious with her model. the police might have intervened in advance and in time, nice to say, let's make weekly or any now we know, 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 personal says and probation office is the using it? yes, most definitely 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 in helping in their risk assessments and some individuals with a history of domestic violence or given special attention by probation officer's, 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 puts it into an order for you cuz we all know the signs. i think when i 1st spoke to you about the 8 stages, that was what really came across to pay. 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 really 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 with 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 on sympathy. what is important to you about the subject of domestic violence was if different, why did you want to get involved?

emit what was going by for me. violence is never a solution. you know, whether it's a push or us laugh, or an actual punch. largest e. glad to domestic violence always takes place with the curtains close to one on, 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 to describe what 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 bork 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 and 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 you, 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 making this 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?
