title: [Society must denounce violence against women].
abstract: In Iceland there is no established procedure for the care of adult victims of criminal assault (mainly women). There is no statutory obligation to make a report, such as is mandatory in the case of children. Most victims of assault do not figure in statistics. The establishment of an official facility for the care of adult victims is an urgent need.
