< p>The pandemic of violence against women and domestic violence is growing, each of us knows such a victim - this is the truest statistic. Vice President Iliana Yotova wrote this on her Facebook profile on the occasion of today's International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. According to the vice president, violence is not a personal but a public problem.

"Does violence stop on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women?! Hardly! For victims of abuse, it doesn't matter what day it is today. They need our attention, help, support, most importantly – justice", Yotova points out.

The lack of public sensitivity and the inaction of the institutions, the politicking of the subject are another slap on the bloodied face and trampled dignity, the vice president also wrote.

While the politicians pretending to rule Bulgaria are mired in "courting", every day Bulgarians suffer from the widespread impunity, fall into the trap of legal absurdities created by the thoughtlessness of the Bulgarian legislator, according to Vice President Iliana Yotova.

According to UN statistics published today, a woman is killed every 10 minutes in the world. In the past year 2023 At least 85,000 women and girls have been deliberately killed around the world, most of them victims of their loved ones, according to figures contained in a UN report.
