Women Support Centers actively continue to inform citizens about services for victims. Ten cases were identified during the month, including risk groups.
In parallel with the identification of cases, they are also analyzed and assessed. Depending on the need, one part of the beneficiaries is referred to a psychologist, the other to a lawyer. Effective case management significantly reduces the risks of violence and helps to prevent violence.
