Summary/Abstract: The topic of violence against girls and women has become increasingly relevant in the last few years. In modern relations, despite the desire for equality between women and men, the patriarchal notion of the existence of family relations continues to prevail in Bulgaria. This largely implies the dominance of the male part of the family community. Along with this, there is another problem related to violence among adolescent girls themselves. It is a kind of reflection of social relations, which are part of the overall reality in our society. This is the example that comes from the family, the street, the parliamentary rostrum, the speeches of politicians, the excessive influence of social networks, etc. The leading word here is violence.
