Montenegrin media published on October 18. The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Population reported that 312 calls were recorded by the SOS hotline (assistance to victims of domestic violence).
Free hotline, assistance to victims of domestic violence, was opened on September 9. For the month of its work, 312 calls for help were received by the hotline, of this number of calls - 254 were personally called by victims, and 58 - by third parties. The Ministry drew attention to the fact that the statement of all cases of domestic violence is a legal obligation. Domestic violence and violence against women is a common problem in the society in Montenegro. The number of applications is constantly growing, in the past year, there were 1347 cases of domestic violence registered in the police, and this number is three times more than in 2011.
The fact that the number of applications has increased does not mean that the number of violations has increased, this shows that citizens have become more informed about rights and opportunities. Also from the Ministry they said that not every call means that the victim immediately stated about the violence in the family, very often the victims call to first get information, talk.
According to the survey, every third person in Montenegro is not ready to report violence in the family. According to the survey, which involved 1,103 people in 17 cities of Montenegro, it was revealed that stereotypes and patriarchal attitudes in the family were strongly expressed. Also, according to the survey, it was found that every third woman in Montenegro was a victim of any form of violence, and 92% of the respondents believe that there is domestic violence everywhere in Montenegro, and 13.1% said they had personal experiences of domestic violence.
Such data show that the population of the country is not ready to claim violence in the family because of uncertainty about efficiency, fear, patriarchal relations in the family, stereotypes. Every fourth person interviewed believes that there are situations when domestic violence is justified, and the victim was responsible for the violence, as she caused her acts, provoked violence.
