Als Je Eens Wist: Siblinggeweld

After high-profile series on child abuse, partner violence and parental abuse, Hilde Van Mieghem focuses on sibling violence in the fourth series of 'Als je eens wist': abuse and violence between (plus)brothers and (plus)sisters.

Als Je Eens Wist: Siblinggeweld

In this final part of the four-part series on intrafamilial violence, Van Mieghem finds that sibling violence does not even officially exist as a term and, moreover, is hardly researched. Yet the little research there is, shows that it is the most common form of violence. Like a big blind spot that swallows up victims from within and tears families apart.

"In this latest series of 'Als je eens wist', it is clearly demonstrated how trauma is transmitted from generation to generation. Parents' inability to confront their own traumatic past means they are blind to the violence between their children that takes place before their eyes and unable to intervene. The children are on their own. That touched me deeply, again." Hilde Van Mieghem

This production came into being with the support of Flanders Tax Shelter.
