An apartment. Bucharest. 2017. A woman finds her cat decapitated. The door is not forced. The windows are not broken. The woman is convinced that her ex-boyfriend is responsible. She talks to the 112 emergency phone operator. The police come to her apartment.
No one believes her.
In Romania hundreds of women per year are killed by their current or ex-partners. 112 investigates why.

As part of the project we invited Tudorina Mihai from Asociația FRONT to hold two Gender violence prevention workshops in educational settings and to coordinate the publishing of the free interventionist brochure Violența împotriva femeilor, violența de gen (Violence against women, gendered violence).
Violența împotriva femeilor, violența de gen is written by Tudorina Mihai with contributions by Nico Vaccari and Sînziana Cojocărescu. Graphic design by Alecsandra Cândea and published by Hecate.
