"Hear My Voice" Study Phase 2. The Needs and Attitudes of Victims of Domestic Violence and Their Children

We present the second phase of the sociological study "Hear My Voice" - Domestic Violence, Institutions and Society, commissioned by The Wake Up Foundation.

The study is based on 15 in-depth interviews with women, members of the Facebook group "You are not alone - together against violence", the largest active online community for help and advice for victims of domestic violence, managed by The Wake Up Foundation. The aim is to build on the quantitative study published on June 12, 2025, and to understand in depth the mechanisms of violence, the experience with institutions and the consequences for women and children.

Publication date: December 15, 2025

Authors: Gergana Nenova and Veronika Dimitrova - sociologists, lecturers in the Department of Sociology at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski".
