PUBLIC DISCUSSION HELD IN ZAGREB!

In the High-school Lucijan Vranjanin a public discussion on teen-dating violence entitled "Silence is not Golden" was held on 22nd of April 2008. In this school a group of students together with their teacher Slavica Antolić is making a short film on violence. Special guests at the public discussion were Luka Nižetić, Ida Prester  and girls from the band Angels:Matilda Oroši and Martina Begčević. Although this is a serious subject, the atmosphere was cheerful, mostly because of the euphoria around our celebrities. Luka, Ida, Martina and Matilda spoke how it is important to be who you are and not allowing partner to put you down, blackmail, hurt or insult you. They also stressed the importance of  doing something when we see that violence is happening and not just being silent witnesses. Young people had a lot of questions and one girl spoke how she helped a friend to leave an abusive relationship. When violence is happening then SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN because everyone has a right to live free of violence. Our responsibility, as a society, is to make it happen!
