How the Hungarian police failed to save M’s life

from Zsófilter

„What is behind this other than „women cannot be believed?!”A Budapest-based Japanese mother of two (who we call “M”) asked the Hungarian police for help several times because she was in danger. Her abusive ex-husband kept a gun, he sent death threats to her and he used every possible tool to literally keep her in her place with their children, including the Hague Convention’s Child Abduction Section. She died a tragic death on the 29th of January when her body was found in a house fire, and her ex-husband is currently under arrest on suspicion of premeditated murder. In this special episode of Zsófilter I talk to Stasya, a close friend of M’s and Noá Nógrádi, a women’s rights expert to discuss the events and circumstances that led to M’s death and the failures of the Hungarian as well as the international authorities to keep her safe.Information in English for victims of domestic & sexual violence in Hungary:https://nane.hu/for-victims/find-help/?lang=enRisk assessment and safety planning information: https://training.improdova.eu/en/training-modules-for-the-police/module-5-risk-assessment-and-safety-planning/—A közösség lehetőség, a közösség felelősség.Támogasd a Partizánt!https://cause.lundadonate.org/partizan/adomany—Iratkozz fel!Értesülj elsőként eseményeinkről, akcióinkról, maradjunk kapcsolatban:https://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/forms/maradjunk-kapcsolatban—Legyél önkéntes!Csatlakozz a Partizán önkéntes csapatához:https://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/forms/csatlakozz-te-is-a-partizan-onkenteseihez—Iratkozz fel tematikus hírleveleinkre!—Heti Feledyhttps://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/forms/partizan-heti-feledy—Vétóhttps://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/forms/iratkozz-fel-a-veto-hirlevelere—A Partizán Podcast oldalait itt találod: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PartizanPodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/partizanpodcast/—A Partizán videóit itt tudod megnézni:https://www.youtube.com/c/@Partizanmedia—További támogatási lehetőségekről bővebben: https://www.partizanmedia.hu/tamogatas
