What is gender-based violence? Podcast with the Rep. of UN Women in Ukraine Sabine Freizer Gunes

Every third woman who calls support hotlines in Ukraine suffers from intimate partner violence. It is unknown how many women suffer from violence, but do not tell anyone about it. At the same time, in 2023, the National Police of Ukraine received 216,284 appeals related to domestic violence. And, again, this figure does not reflect the real picture because we are talking only about those who go to the police.

Gender-based violence is the topic we will be discussing in the episode of the Damn Questions podcast with the Representative of UN Women in Ukraine, Sabine Freizer.
