Family violence puts every woman in a difficult and a complicated position. The situation is even worse if this is a woman who experiences multiple marginalisation. For example if she is a Roma.
Unemployment, economic dependence on husband, non-possession of documents, obligation to take care of children. These are just some of the reasons which make escape from an abusive family more difficult.
Even when a woman decides to leave, she is often exposed to condemnation by her and her husband’s family. Also, these women do not believe that the institutions will help them.
