"Every single event is one too many"

So far this year, more than 1,000 cases of assault in a close relationship have been reported, in the Bergslagen police region alone.

The global women's rights organization Zonta draws attention to the issue worldwide.

In Karlstad, Östra stenbron will shine in orange tonight and this weekend the local Zontaklubben invites you to a walk along the river, at the same time as they put up orange bows on the road - a color that has become a symbol to stop violence against women.

Gunilla Wadsten tells more about the color in the clip above.
