UNIFEM grant helps Bulgaria combat domestic violence

The UN Trust Fund to end violence against women, administered by UNIFEM, today announced its biggest annual disbursal of awards worth 19 million dollars to projects in 23 countries. To find out what difference such projects can make, Bissera Kostova spoke to a grant recipient from 2006. Milena Kadieva(photo) is a human rights lawyer working with the Bulgarian Gender Research Foundation. When a law against domestic violence was passed in Bulgaria in 2005, she says the organization, which also does advocacy and outreach, set out to inform people about the new law.
