Orihuela to screen documentary on vicarious violence on 28 October

The event has been organised by the Department of Equality as part of the programme for 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The film, written and directed by María Bestar, gives a voice to women who have experienced vicarious violence.

This form of abuse uses children or other loved ones to cause suffering to the mother. The documentary has received United Nations backing and has been selected for more than 40 international awards and festivals.
