It is symbolic that the event took place at the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex. According to Efrosinina, this choice was made to show the real scale of the problem. According to official data, approximately 1.8 million people, or the number of people to fill 25 such stadiums, suffer at the hands of abusers every year.
The first stage of the campaign was the “It seems to me” online platform launch — a kind of diary, on the pages of which victims of violence can tell their stories anonymously or read the stories of those who are also going through a difficult phase. In addition, on the platform you can find contacts of special services, whom you can turn to for help.
