VOICED : Rusia despenaliza violencia domestica golpe a derechos de mujer

Aleksandra shares her traumatic experience with domestic violence in Russia, highlighting the physical and psychological abuse she endured from her father. In 2015, 7,500 women in Russia died due to domestic violence. Despite this, a new law was enacted that reduces penalties for domestic violence, replacing jail time with fines and only imposing criminal charges if the offender repeats the crime within a year. This law sparked debate in a society where domestic violence is often seen as normal. Official reports indicate that one in five Russian women has suffered physical violence from a partner. The law leaves women and children without protection, and Aleksandra continues to suffer from depression and nightmares, now adding anger to her emotions.
