"You may know such women, they are all around us. Do not stand indifferent. They need your support!” This is the appeal of organizers of a charity bazaar with the goal to help women who have suffered from domestic violence. On July 18, the members of the group for social initiative "Mix & Match" will arrange in "House of Sofia" art club handmade accessories, paintings, cakes, designer tablecloths and handmade souvenirs. Artist Ivan Yahnadzhiev also participates and supports the cause. His painting with butterflies - a symbol of transformation and new life, will be put up for auction.

The funds raised will be used for the needs of a new shelter home in Sofia. The building has already been renovated by the AME Foundation and will open soon. The Charity Bazaar is the first targeted campaign after the period of social isolation, which recalls of the problem and the call of international institutions to provide more help and protection for those Bulgarian women who live in fear and keep silent about being victims to domestic violence.
