Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on functioning of safe houses in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Safe houses in Bosnia and Herzegovina are struggling to provide adequate protection to women survivors of violence and their children, as domestic violence is on the rise due to the COVID-19 crisis.

This infographic is a visual representation of the collected data, available in Bosnian and English.
