1 Year in an abusive relationship in 1 Minute (Anti-domestic violence campaign -Trigger Warning)

[TalkingDog]

The video campaign was created by the anti-domestic-violence organization, Sigurna kuća, which means Safe House in Croatian.

poor girl.

2. Whoever did this to her should have the shit kicked out of them.

Men who beat women (and other men) in their lives are pond scum.

4. yes indeed

6. It still carries an undeniably powerful message, but it's not real.

No one actually "did this to her", it's a dramatization.

This video is staged, but the subject matter is very real for 1 in 4 women around the world. If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or visit TheHotline.org.

11. You can lead a horse to information, but you can't make him drink.

But thanks for trying.

3. I wish there were more about the source and the legal options for this woman.

It's frustrating not to have more context to think and work with.

8. See above

The video is a dramatization. Not real.

10. Thanks. I thought people were unsure of its authenticity.

5. "pomozite mi!"

The girl in this video posts a message at the end – ‘pomozite mi ne znam da li cu docekati sutra’ (in serbian) which translantes into something like ‘please help me! I don’t know If I will make it until tomorrow’.

7. It is apparently a dramatization. They are making a powerful point, however it is not actually

documenting a year of abuse.

9. Startling!

Is this an actress? Or is this woman who has actually suffered violent domestic abuse?
