Violence Against Women in Serbia

Under the title „It Concerns All of Us“, the Heinrich Böll Foundation Belgrade published a series of articels on the issue of violence against women in Serbia.

Throughout the latter half of 2017, urged by the most recent cases of violence against women and an inadequate media coverage thereof - ranging from instrumentalization for sensationalist purposes, to utter banalization and trivialization of the victims' experiences - the Heinrich Boell Foundation, in cooperation with journalist Tamara Skrozza, published a series of articles dealing with the subject matter in a more profound manner. The authors - women's rights activists and experts on legal frameworks which regulate this sensitive field - thematize, intera alia, the new Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence, the procedure of reporting cases of violence and the role of the Center for Social Work, as well as the young generation's attitude with regard to this topic.
