VAWG: Victim with ‘hole in her face’ says attacker blamed her

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

“I went to the mirror. My teeth were hanging on by threads from my gums…I could hardly speak; I could only just use my lips. I said to him, ‘Do you realise you have ruined my life?’ and he said, ‘You can thank yourself’.”

Eva Komuves was speaking 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 boys towards women and girls in Northern Ireland.

The campaign is being backed by the PSNI, the Department of Justice (DoJ), and the Stormont executive.
