Kiki Petroulaki, President of EAVN, talks about what women who suffer domestic violence need to know, the impact of the “Tsiaras Law” on mandatory co-custody in cases of abuse, and the inadequacy of the state and the judicial authorities to effectively protect victims – women and children.
- What happens when a woman who is being abused speaks out?
- Are women who report domestic violence protected?
- What should a protection system look like?
- Is there sufficient legislation on domestic violence in Greece?
- Do the authorities protect children?
- Are children exposed to violence considered as victims too?
- What is the impact of the “Tsiaras Law” on compulsory co-custody?
- Why did the UN and the Council of Europe oppose the “Tsiara Law”?
- How does the pseudo-theory of ‘parental alienation’ endanger abused women and children?
- Can international organisations impose penalties on Greece?
- How does the government talk to “men’s rights” groups?
- What is the action of EAVN?
- Have those who believed the exhortation to “break the silence” (Greek MeToo movement) repented?
- Example: The case of Areti Palios
- What is the policy of repeated lawsuits by those accused of being abusers?
- Is there an increase in domestic violence involving male victims?
- Is it ultimately in the best interest of abused women to “break the silence”?
