In Sibiu, the Association for Gender Freedom and Equality - A.L.E.G. organises on December 10 and 15 a series of events aimed at raising awareness and providing information. A.L.E.G. joins the campaign initiated by the Sensi-Blu Foundation with the message "Family violence is not a story".

15 December – 700 candles for the Silent Witnesses

On 15 December, starting from 4 p.m. at the fountain from the Nicolae Balcescu Street, A.L.E.G. will organise the street action "Silent Witnesses". The red silhouettes symbolically represent women who lost their lives due to domestic violence. Each silhouette will bear the story of a case from the county of Sibiu. According to the statistics of the National Agency for Family Protection, during the last 5 years 723 deaths caused by family violence were registered in Romania. With the help of the passer-bies, ALEG will light up 700 candles to emphasize that family violence is not just a simple story, that it may be fatal. We will be waiting for you there!

We use to read about relationships of stars in all sorts of magazines. A lot of websites offer precious advice for troubled couples. With the "Cupid's Recipes" brochure we want to write something else; not "true stories", not a list a useful pieces of advice from a psychologist. We want to collect the experiences of your generation, good and bad.
