The latest data streaming in from the police on recorded incidents of domestic violence sends shockwaves through the Greek nation.
In a stark declaration, law enforcement underscored the sheer magnitude of the domestic violence crisis gripping Greece.
Over the past week, from April 15th to April 21st, 2024, the volume of distress calls flooding police lines staggered, averaging nearly 147 per day. Alarmingly, daily, over 10 women found themselves in such dire straits that police deemed it necessary to equip them with panic buttons.
Within this tumultuous timeframe, officers nationwide swiftly answered 1,025 calls to the Rapid Response call center. Meanwhile, 81 women were provided quickly with the Panic Button application, a lifeline in the face of danger. The Hellenic Police grappled with 633 harrowing incidents, leading to 379 apprehensions. Furthermore, 23 victims found themselves whisked away to safety in Hellenic Police vehicles.
It's imperative to note that within every police directorate nationwide, one or more sanctuaries, known as "safe houses," stand ready to provide short-term refuge for female victims of domestic violence, along with their vulnerable family members, including minor children, who seek protection from harm.
Under the vigilant watch of the Greek Police, these sanctuaries serve as bastions of hope, offering shelter and comprehensive support. Collaboration with the Ministry of Family and Social Cohesion, local government entities, the Church, and various state and non-state social organizations ensures that victims receive the holistic care they urgently require.
