The opposition Socialists have proposed the government should set up a fund for the prevention of violence against women and to include the fight against domestic violence as a subject in the national curriculum, the party’s parliamentary deputy group leader said on Monday, marking International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
In Hungary, between 10,000-12,000 instances of domestic violence are reported to the police each year, Zita Gurmai told MTI in a statement, adding that more than one-fourth of the women become target of physical abuse even if they are pregnant.
“It is shocking, but still a fact that one woman dies in Hungary every week because of domestic violence.”
Authorities often attribute less than required importance to violence against women, said Gurmai. As regards sex crimes, investigations too often turn into “blaming the victim” with the authorities focusing their attention to “how the victim’s behaviour could have motivated the crime”.
According to the United Nations” website, women’s rights activists have observed 25 November as a day against gender-based violence since 1981. This date was selected to honour the Mirabal sisters, three political activists from the Dominican Republic who were brutally murdered in 1960 by order of the country’s ruler.

Yet, at the same time, they want to import hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from the Third World who routinely practice the worst excesses of misogyny and think nothing of visiting extreme violence upon women: both their family members as well as complete strangers.
What a bunch of clowns…
The church is the answer for a civil society and for both sex . They also used to be there at birth and deathe death-and handked many social problems and focused on the family. If you walk around budapest ,the brilliance that once was 90 ormore yeare ago – religion was the driving force from art music and science and decency
Socialists’ answer is to throw money at everything and nothing gets solved.
Violence has something to do with lack of good parenting. Parents hit children; children hit other kids. Boys beat girls because they see men beating women. Well, since the parents do such a bad job, it is up to the schools to teach children that violence is unacceptable. Media companies can also help. TV shows should have programs on parenting and disagreement resolution. Talking does not cost millions.
Religion is the answer:

Don´t even start to query Google or ChatGPT. Or, let´s! Little snippet:
Sexual abuse in religious institutions is a complex and deeply troubling issue that has been reported across various faith traditions and denominations worldwide. This problem involves cases where members of religious organizations—often in positions of authority—perpetrate abuse against congregants, often minors or other vulnerable individuals. Key aspects include:
“1. Scale and Scope
Catholic Church: The Roman Catholic Church has faced numerous scandals globally, with reports of widespread abuse by clergy spanning decades. Investigations like the Boston Globe’s 2002 exposé and subsequent inquiries have revealed systematic cover-ups by church leaders to protect abusers and the institution’s reputation.
Other Denominations and Faiths: Abuse is not exclusive to Catholicism. Protestant churches, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Hindu ashrams, Islamic madrasas, and Jewish communities have also faced allegations of abuse, highlighting the systemic nature of the problem.”
@michaelsteiner – whataboutism is not the answer. We have an issue and it needs to be addressed. Regardless of the Evil Others.
@mariavontheresa – education at schools … Agree . May want to include LGBT in this, as well, with the “correct” connotations so it is not deemed “gay propaganda” (Russian term – commonly associated with laws and policies aimed at restricting discussions or depictions of LGBT identities in schools, public spaces and media).
In summary, the issue underscores the need for vigilance, systemic change, and support for survivors to prevent future abuse and hold perpetrators accountable!
Yes Norbert, there was sexual abuse in the Catholic Church as well as Protestant Churches in North America. Hopefully, this abuse is now ended.
