Vawg: victim with ‘hole in his face’ says that the attacker blamed her

A woman who suffered a broken jaw and teeth after being attacked by her ex -boyfriend said she was blamed by him by the attack.

“I went to the mirror. My teeth were hanging by threads of my gums … I could barely speak; I could only use my lips. I said: ‘Do you realize that you have ruined my life?’ And he said: “You can thank you.”

Eva Komuves was talking at the launch of a new campaign aimed at ending violence against women and girls (Vawg).

The Power To Change campaign aims to address the attitudes of men and children towards women and girls in Northern Ireland.

The campaign is being supported by the PSNI, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Stormant Executive.
