Alcoholism and domestic violence - cause and effect?!

From October 13th to 15th 2011, AEPADO will participate at the International Conference ”Alcoholism: Historical and Social Issues” organized at Alba-Iulia, Romania by the University „1 Decembrie 1918” Alba Iulia.

The aim of this conference is to discuss the different aspects of alcoholism around the world, and also to promote an interdisciplinary dialogue between different branches of science (history, anthropology, sociology, psychology or medicine), and to promote a comparative analysis between eastern and western European patterns of alcoholism. At the same time, the conference is intended to encourage the improvement of alcoholism studies in Romania.

Our paper, ”Alcoholism and domestic violence - cause and effect?!” was written in the frame of the second section of the conference: ”Cultural, spiritual, social and medical issues of alcohol consumption”. Its authors, Ana Dragomir and Gabriel Brezoiu tried to draw attention to the very dangerous link between alcoholism and domestic violence. Moreover, if we try to approach violence prevention, taking into account alcohol as a possible cause it's a must.

This paper was made in the frame of European Program "JUMIGG - Young multipliers against violence", a program implemented in Romania by the European Association for the Defense of Human Rights - AEPADO with the financial support of the European Commission through Daphne program.
