Joint Lithuanian–Latvian report on the evaluation of services for victims of domestic violence

It is essential to understand that violence is a part of the experience, related to a person’s life, thus, the interviews include various events: attempts to solve the problems in relationships, the working life, raising children, t divorce, etc. Therefore, the interviews not only include the stories about the experience with the support system, but also allow to characterize the informants and their everyday lives. Stories told in interviews can be grouped according to the experience of violence. Some violence in close relationship can be linked to a certain stage of the relationship – most often -divorce. In this period, some of the conflicts become violent, but divorce terminates violence. If there are children, in most situations when violence is directed by one parent to the other, children become witnesses and victims of their parents’ relationships. In this case, children are affected or redeemed, sometimes the messages are transferred through the children, etc. Addressing violent relationships negatively affects all family members and rehabilitation may be necessary not only for women, but also for men and children.
