The 16 Days of Activism Against Violence Against Women campaign started on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and will run until December 10. when International Human Rights Day is celebrated.
Violence is particularly pronounced among the population and in areas where vulnerable groups are present, including the Roma community. Romani women are repeatedly exposed to such violence because they are discriminated against, mostly uneducated, unemployed and economically dependent.
2020 was turbulent due to the Covid Pandemic 19. Due to the changes in the way of life, they also contributed to problems for the realization of women's rights. . In parallel with the Campaign for Social and Health Protection # Stay Home, where home was one of the safest places, new problems arose. Roma women in particular, with their isolation and physical distance, meant a greater risk of domestic violence.
Violence against Roma women in many parts of the world occurs daily and at home and at work at school, on the street, on social networks and others.
Otherwise, violence against women is considered to prevent women from taking part in all aspects of social life such as - politics, culture, social, economy.
