NV (Novoe Vremya magazine (New Time), together with online educa1on studio EdEra, conducted an anonymous survey aimed at finding out what Ukrainians know about domestic violence, whether they can distinguish between its types and what they do if they witness such situations.
67% of women aged 15 years and older have experienced psychological, physical or sexual abuse by a partner or another person. 47% of women call themselves ignorant or do not know what to do in such situations. These data are cited by the OSCE in its study on the well-being and safety of women. It was held in 2018 in eight southeastern and eastern European countries, including Ukraine.
About one in four women accuses the vic1ms, not the offenders, of commiting violence. According to such women, it is most likely that the vic1ms themselves provoke violent acts against themselves.
HV, together with online education studio EdEra, launched an anonymous survey to find out what Ukrainians know about domestic violence today.
Two thousand 500 respondents passed the polls, of which 87.7% were women, 12.2% were men, and 0.1% identified their gender as Other. 15.2% of respondents are aged 21–25 years old, 17.6% are 26–30 years old, 17.4% are 31–35 years old, 12.7% are people aged 36–40 years. Other age categories make up less than 10%.
We asked our respondents whether they had witnessed domestic violence or committed it themselves, whether they knew of cases where the victims were children and the elderly, and whether the victims were aware of themselves as victims. Read more
