Makeover in a crisis centre: stage 1
Statistics show that in Latvia, one in three women experiences domestic violence at least once in their lives. This situation was exacerbated during quarantine, when many had to spend more time indoors. To help solve this social problem, IKEA is implementing the "Notice Violence" initiative. Renovation of the crisis centre "Mīlgrāvis" is part of this initiative as providing a safe and cosy home is a big step towards a brighter future for people that have experienced violence.
