Maria Lvova-Belova said in Moscow that women experiencing domestic violence could seek help at crisis centers staffed by specialists.
Russia’s children’s rights official said no form of violence could be accepted. She noted that the children’s rights office was working with law enforcement to combat the problem.
Lvova-Belova also said that the system for assisting families had been reorganized with the support of Russian President Vladimir Putin. She said the new approach for families facing difficult living conditions or socially dangerous situations focused on protecting families.
