The number of signals related to violence against women in Bulgaria has increased during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is what the non-governmental organization Zonta International in Bulgaria has alarmed. "The number of cases is not just rising, but the cruelty involved is also greater," Bistra Ilieva, a spokeswoman for the organization, said. According to her one out of three women in Bulgaria has been subjected to domestic violence and 15 women have lost their lives as a result of domestic violence since the beginning of the year.
