Ο πρώην συνεργάτης της ζωής βιάζει τη γυναίκα στο WELS - 10,5 χρόνια στη φυλακή!

Wels, Österreich - What happened in Wels? In February 2025 there was a shocking incident when a man attacked his former life partner in her apartment. The accused had visited the 47-year-old to pick up personal things after the couple separated. But instead of adhering to the separation agreement, he tried to approach his ex-girlfriend and was rejected by her. Then the mischief is said to have taken its course. The man grabbed the woman on the couch and forced her to have sex with him. This reports [Nachrichten.at] (https://www.nachrichten.at/oberoesterreich/vergaltung-105-jahrhaf ;art4,4071126).

The fact that the accused already has prejudices is particularly alarming, which led to a significant tightening of his punishment. He is now facing a possible prison sentence of up to 15 years. However, the court sentenced him to ten and a half years. However, the case is not yet final and the judiciary will check this incident in detail.

gender -specific violence in focus

The incident in Wels is part of a major problem: gender -specific violence is not only a locally limited phenomenon, but a global human rights problem. According to the [Institute for Human Rights] (https://www.institut-fuer-menschenrechte.de/themen/Schlechs-Schlechs-Schlechs-Schlecht, gender-specific violence is directed against people due to their gender. Women are disproportionately affected by sexual and domestic violence. This is increasingly taken in Austria and many other countries.

In 2011, the Council of Europe adopted the Istanbul Convention, which aims to effectively combat violence against women and domestic violence. This convention calls for measures at federal, state and local levels and focuses on prevention, intervention, protection and sanctioning. It is essential that such measures are implemented across the board in order to improve victim protection and to contain gender -specific violence.

demands for better help offers

The need to create a comprehensive network of support and help offers is becoming more and more urgent. Women affected by violence, in particular those with disabilities, migrants or homeless women, need access to safer and adequate help. The challenges in the area of implementing the Istanbul Convention remain great; There is still a lot to do here.

The case in Wels is another urgent appeal to society to proceed more against violence and to give the women concerned the necessary support. Only together can we bring about a change and make sure that nobody in our country has to suffer from gender -specific violence.
