On 22 March last, at the invitation of the Portuguese Neuromuscular Association (ANP), Ms Sónia Esperto, President of the National Institute for Rehabilitation, attended the Conference on Violence held at the National Meeting, which brought together experts, people with disabilities and their families, representatives of various organisations to discuss one of the most urgent and often hidden problems.

At this conference, with the theme ‘Is this violence?’, some results of the four studies carried out by the APN and co-financed by the INR Project Funding Programme were presented, with statements from the perspective of the aggressor, the victim and the witness.
