The second RTCG Brand Strength Research was conducted by the Public Opinion Research Agency DAMAR PLUS in November 2022.

This public opinion survey on perception of psychological violence in Montenegro was commissioned by the OSCE Mission to Montenegro for the NGO Women’s Safe House and conducted by the DeFacto Agency from May to July 2022 on a representative sample of 1,008 respondents over the age of 18. Although this is not a traditional victimological research in terms of its scope, it has provided us with very important and interesting findings, not only about how psychological violence is perceived by Montenegrin citizens, but also about its prevalence, and it can therefore complement the official statistics that does not disaggregate data per type of violence.
