“Violence has an acquired character, we learn it from our families, we are not born violent. It is a serious disease, a social disease that is contacted in the family home and then transmitted from one generation to another by imitation”- Florentina Paduraru – psychologist in the only center for aggressors in Bucharest – the Family Support Center for Aggressors “A New Chance”.

When applying for a restriction order, please ask the court for a mandatory number of hours of counseling for the abuser. Remember that it is a serious disease and that after you another lady could become a victim of the same aggressor.
