The most common stereotype regarding domestic violence is that it is accompanied by things breaking, screams of pain, and calls for help. However, as Brazilian journalist Isadora Varejão tells us: "Often, none of this happens. Domestic violence is insidious, it is harsh, and it is silent."
At the center of it are women, like the four who entrusted us with their testimonies and who suffer. They are the neighbors who understand what is happening but either ignore it or even if they call the authorities, they respond "as if they are trying to shut down a children's party with loud music," as Sylvia Mourouti says - in the neighboring apartment to hers in Daphne, one of the many femicides of recent years occurred.
Andreas Vagias also talks to architect Polina Prentou and psychologist Eleni Chouvarda, exploring the different dimensions of what is happening on the other side of the wall.
Do we still believe that "what happens at home stays at home"?
