ANAIS Association: Ana

The day after International Women’s Day, Romanian authorities coincidentally decided to lift mask mandates nation-wide, as COVID-19 cases diminished. However, hundreds of thousands of Romanian women will continue to have their nose and mouth covered. Either by the palm of an abusing partner or by their own palm, as they contemplate in anguish the other pandemic: domestic violence and all its forms. From publishing intimate content without consent, to prohibiting meetings with friends. From embezzling family income to forbidding access to religious practice or controlling a partner on the pretext of jealousy. The campaign is based on real stories from women helped by ANAIS Association.
