the daily fear of victims

Since the beginning of the year 2022, already three women have died under the blows of their spouses or ex-spouses. Alison, 31, lived for three years under the beatings of her partner. After a final violence, she decides to file a complaint against him and to leave him. But he is left at liberty, awaiting trial. So begins for Alison a daily life filled with fear and threats. “I am always afraid that it is hidden in front of my house, so I prefer to check before going out“, she confesses. She limits her movements as much as she can, and does her shopping by drive since her companion tried to assault her in a supermarket.

Alison filed a complaint five times for bullying, threats and violence. Each time, her ex-boyfriend was released, then coming to her house or calling her on the phone. “It’s no use what you do, I’m out, I’m here“, L’does he have already threatened. Pending his trial, his ex-companion was remanded in custody for failure to comply with his judicial review.
