In the first eleven months of 2018, almost 30 women were killed in Bulgaria, most of them by their partners. On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the Bulgarian Fond for Women organised a protest in the centre of Sofia, calling for the creation of prevention programmes and the creation of shelters for victims.
