Wed, 02/06/2013 - 17:12
In 2012 the police recorded 766 cases of family violence, from which
612 were committed against women, 145 - against men. The violent acts
against the minors were 15.
Let's not forget that those are the official numbers, the real cases
are wide spread.
"Compared with the previous year, the number of violence has
increases"- the deputy director of the Third unit of the Police
Criminal Investigation Department, Police Colonel NalliDuryan said
during the meeting with the journalists adding that this doesn't mean
the number of violent acts has increased, this means our citizens'
trust towards the police has increased and they apply more"
This year 2 family violence incidents were registered; in one case
the 17 year-old sister injured the 15 year-old brother, in another
case the father committed violent acts against his daughter.
The women who are committed to family violence in most cases prefer
to remain silent. Nelli Duryan considered the issue an inter-family
one and said that problem is present in all societies and Armenia
is not an exception. "They consider beating, quarrels,violence as
inter-family issues and don't want to take it out from the family".
The psychologist Irina Tsaturyan divided the family violence in 4
categories: sexual, psychological, financial and physical. It turns
out that the people who are committed to psychological violence never
apply to police and it is considered that women more often than men
are subjected to psychological violence.
The psychologist brought an example of how the husband always
complains how the woman deals with the children, how she dresses and
prepares. The male journalists present during the meeting objected
saying that this is the nature of the man rather than a violent act
against the women.
Another example was presented by Nelli Duryan, when the woman visits
her parent's house and upon the return is committed to violence; this
case was also classified as a man's nature adding that "if the man
said she shouldn't go to your parent's house, then she shouldn't" So,
it comes out that the woman is committed to violence for the visit
to her parent's house.
