The launch of this platform is the culmination of a series of actions taking place as part of the celebrations of the International Day of Non-Violence.
On the occasion, the minister said that domestic violence continues to be a problem that takes away the peace of countless Angolan families, whose victims are mostly women, children and the elderly.
"As you know, domestic violence is part of the catalog of complex crimes whose action to combat and hold the perpetrator criminally responsible, constitutes a very arduous task, all because it generally occurs within the walls, that is, within the family environment.", said.
According to the minister, formal criminal control bodies can only act by triggering the competent criminal proceedings against the aggressor upon a complaint from the victim, a relative or neighbor who has witnessed or become aware of the occurrence of such criminal conduct.
