A forum on violence against women and domestic violence, part of the 'Not Alone' initiative, was held in Glina. The event was organised by the Women's Association 'Katarina Zrinski' of the town of Glina.
The forum addressed the recognition of different forms of violence, methods of response, and the protection mechanisms available to victims. It was highlighted that violence is not a private matter and that victims must not be left alone without support.
The forum was preceded by a multi-day humanitarian action, 'Not Alone: Glina for the Safe House in Sisak'. Residents of Glina collected hygiene products, household items, food, and other necessary supplies for women and children.
The donations were handed over to the Adela Centre, which provides assistance and support to women and children who are victims of violence. The initiative was joined by citizens, donors, and volunteers from the 'Katarina Zrinski' Women's Association, who stood guard at the collection point in the Croatian Home in Glina throughout the action.
The organisers thanked everyone who participated in the forum and the humanitarian action, stating: 'We see you. We hear you. You are not alone.'
