Documentary series: Justice for Women

The documentary series “Justice for Women” features 14 in-depth real-life stories of women from the Western Balkans and Turkey who suffered from violence. Some of them died at the hands of their partner. The documentary provides specific measures for the stakeholders working on ending violence against women, such as the police, prosecutors, judges etc., to improve access to justice for survivors of violence and maintain them as essential in times of crisis. Violence against women is the symptom, not the virus. The virus is gender inequality. No cure will come as long as ineffective prevention, protection and prosecution remain. This video was developed by the Center of Women’s Rights within the UN Women regional programme on ending violence against women in the Western Balkans and Turkey “Implementing Norms, Changing Minds,” funded by the European Union. * The names have been changed to protect the identity of the individuals
