Domestic violence in Poland is characterized by high rates of police intervention and the frequent use of the ‘Blue Card’ procedure, with approximately 90 new files opened daily. Experts have noted that such violence is often a precursor to femicide, noting that perpetrators frequently claim provocation while victims remain silent due to fear or isolation.

In response to these challenges, local authorities have organized efforts to improve prevention and crisis response. In Stryków, a conference involving law enforcement, healthcare providers, and government officials focused on recognizing mechanisms of violence and identifying signs of abuse against children. The event emphasized the necessity of seamless cooperation between various institutions to ensure rapid reactions to domestic violence situations.
