We gave a lecture on domestic violence to the students of the Faculty of Political Sciences

What is violence? What types of violence are there? How to break free from the cycle of violence? How does the Safe House in Sarajevo function and what kind of protection does it provide to the victim?

All these questions were answered by Mubera Hodžić-Lemeš, manager of Safe House in Sarajevo, to the students of the Department of Social Work at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Sarajevo.
