BEYOND FEAR — THE LAUNCH London, 15 November 2025

On 15 November 2025, the official "Beyond Fear" event took place in London, marking the launch of the book of the same name and the public introduction of our project to prevent domestic abuse within the Romanian community in the United Kingdom.

The event was funded entirely from personal resources and brought together participants from across the country: specialists, survivors of abuse, and representatives of national institutions, including:

• The Embassy of Romania in London
• The Embassy of the Republic of Moldova
• The Association of Romanian Police Officers in the UK
• The Consulate General of Romania in London

The aim of the gathering was to create a space of information and support for those affected by domestic abuse. Discussions covered safety procedures, how to access help in the UK, and the role of the community in preventing abuse. The multidisciplinary support group created for victims of domestic abuse was presented publicly for the first time.

Both editions of the book, Dincolo de frică and its English edition Beyond Fear, were launched at the event. The book offers guidance on overcoming trauma and rebuilding one's life, drawn from the author's own experience and from years of frontline support work. The English edition received a letter of thanks from the Royal Household following its submission to His Majesty King Charles III.

The event included presentations, open discussions, and space for those who wished to share their personal experiences. It also marked the public launch of our domestic abuse project an initiative building a network of support, translation, counselling and access to protection services for Romanians in the UK.

The atmosphere was calm and centred on safety, with an emphasis on information, solidarity and support. The presence of institutions and specialists gave the event a professional yet accessible setting for people facing situations of risk.
