“Today, a pregnant young woman was killed with cold blood by the former partner. Words are too poor to encompass the cruelty and pain of this gesture. A life of a woman crushed by violence. Of hate. A terrible drama, a crying injustice to heaven. It’s a day of mourning. A day that throws us again in the face of raw reality: domestic violence kills.
Several publications have chosen to identify the victim as “the former competitor at a reality show”. Such stigmatizing labels not only reduce women to their public past, but distract attention from the severity of the deed: a woman has been shot. In the street, in Romania in 2025. It is not a mere “diverse fact”, a news … it is a tragedy, the result of a society that still minimizes the abuse, which urges tolerance, which is indifferent and that blame the victims. A society that tolerates aggression, control and humility becomes complicit in tragedies like this ”, Luminița Popescu transmitted on social networks.
Popescu: “I launch a call, from the heart, to all the women living in abusive relationships: please, ask for help”
Therefore, this, as Secretary of State of Anes, condemns this act with “firmness”, transmitting to women living in abusive relations to ask for help.
“As a Secretary of State of the National Agency for equal opportunities between women and men, I carry this pain as a personal and institutional responsibility. I firmly condemn this hateful act. And, beyond words, my total commitment will reaffirm: I will not stop for women and girls in Romania to be protected, respected.
I launch a call, from the heart, to all the women living in abusive relationships: please ask for help. Don’t wait to be too late. Don’t wait to be a tragic news. We have created services, we have legislation that protects you, we have people prepared to support you. A start is hard, but it is possible. And he is a savior ”declares the Secretary of State of Anes.
Last but not least, it left the 0800.500.333 helpline, intended for victims of domestic violence, discrimination on the criterion of sex and human trafficking.
“Call 0800.500.333 – Free national line, available 24/7, where you can receive support, information, guidance.
And you all, the others, friends, neighbors, colleagues: Be careful. Believe. Intervene. Support. A woman saved from an abusive relationship is a saved life.
We are not allowed to get used to such crimes. We are not allowed to silence. In the memory of this young woman killed today, in memory of all lives lost in silence and fear, I will go further with my struggle. With pain in the soul, but with determination. With responsibility. With everything that will stand in my power ”concludes Luminița Popescu.
