“The idea of the public awareness raising campaign on domestic violence and the activities that were carried out belongs to Promo-LEX team, which in the absence of any financial support, got involved voluntarily, because great things can be achieved including without expecting a financial remuneration. It is important to participate, contribute, get involved in solving the problems that surround us, “said Ion Manole, Executive Director, Promo-LEX Association.
Greetings and a message of encouragement to young people came from Ion Bodrug, Chief of the General Inspectorate of Police: “Only through a joint effort we are able to combat domestic violence, especially by involving young people who must discuss and send the message of non-violence “.
“Cinema sometimes makes mistakes, by filling the screens with violence and all sorts of spectacular and then weak or sensible viewers try to repeat what they see on the screen. So, we are doing the opposite thing in order to attract attention and to solve these problems for our century, such as violence against women”, said Vlad Druc, Film Director, Head of Multimedia Department within the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts
The prizes were awarded by the State Enterprise “Cartuș” and consisted of an electronic tablet for the first place, second place – a portable hard drive and third place – a USB memory stick.
