Bahar Muradova, chairwoman of the State Committee for Family, Women and Children's Affairs, called for a "Support for Women and Girls" project launched to combat gender-based violence.
A video about it was posted on the official Facebook page of the organization. He said that Azerbaijan is making efforts to fulfill the tasks set out in the "National Action Plan for 2020-2023" to combat domestic violence.
"Together with our partners, we will work together to ensure women's rights and protect them from all forms of violence against social norms that support the rule of the strong over the weak.
Taking into account that every member of our society deserves love and care, we will tell everyone to show our love, not our strength. ” He noted that according to statistics, in 2019, 1308 crimes were committed in connection with domestic violence: "1,358 people have been identified as victims of these crimes, of which 1,038 are, unfortunately, women."
