In Tajikistan, the number of victims of domestic violence is growing and the topic of its criminalization has been discussed for a long time. But no legislative solution has yet been adopted.
Experts believe that it is necessary to talk to children about the different types of violence to which they may be subjected and to give advice on how to prevent them or respond appropriately. The adults around the child – parents, close relatives, neighbors, teachers, and conscientious bystanders on the streets – also play an important role here. Test yourself: how well you know about the peculiarities of violence against a child and whether you know how to talk to your child on this subject, what measures to take to prevent or after the incident.
Gulchehra Rakhmanova, director of the Public Foundation “Legal Initiative” – gender specialist, lawyer and human rights activist, helped to compile the test.
