Although Poland ranks as one of the better countries in Europe for domestic violence statistically, the reality of the story, like in many other places, is hidden due to many social factors. Domestic violence continues to be a problem in Poland with high rates of people indicating abuse and very few willing to prosecute offenders. This issue is not limited to rural areas of typically economically less successful voivodeships near the Russian border where jobs have been more difficult to come by adding more stress to the family unit, but is only further worsened by COVID-19 and inflation throughout the entire country. This Open World program would take delegates to the United States to understand what a victim can look like, how they are cared for, and how criminal proceedings against perpetrators of violence are conducted. Emphasis would be placed on the importance of formal prosecution to achieve justice, changing societal thinking on domestic violence as a Òfamily matter,Ó and deterring future acts of domestic violence in communities, including programs to curb alcoholism.
