The SOS line 15900 addressed to women victims of violence. It is nationwide, 24hourly operation, all year, with local charge.
The line is staffed by psychologists and social scientists who provide immediate assistance in emergencies and emergencies of violence.
It now reaches out to those who speak out of safety, arrives now with those who are silent hoping for "mercy". Enough with hypocrisy!
To you who are told to be silent, we say break the silence and SPEAK!!!
