This study aims to analyze and evaluate the social services provided to girls and women victims of domestic violence, based on the practices implemented in the non-public and public sector through this sector's representatives' representatives. The group of subjects included in the study consists of representatives of the Ministry of Social Welfare and Youth, local government, and non-profit social centers for girls and women - victims of violence and the center's beneficiaries. Qualitative ethnographic methods were used to conduct this study. One of the most important findings of this study was that the primary need of raped girls and women is to provide shelter to guarantee a safe place with their children. Also, the findings of this study show that non-public social services for girls and women-victims of domestic violence are limited and very deficient. The lack of some services and their lack of coordination does not meet the needs of the subjects. From 2013-2019, the cases of denouncing domestic violence have increased because the state and non-profit organizations have played an essential role in raising their awareness. A vital contribution of this study is the relevant recommendations to improve social services for this target group.

Grassroots Advocacy

This chapter studies the effort to reauthorize and expand the reach of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). In September of 1994, after years of grassroots advocacy, U.S. Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and President Clinton signed it into law. VAWA provides federal funding for enhanced law enforcement, social services, and legal services for victims of domestic violence. The legislation was originally enacted with a sunset provision that required that Congress reauthorize it after five years, a feature that was repeated in subsequent reauthorization bills. When the law was due for reauthorization in 2011, however, the process did not go as smoothly as it had before. Instead, although VAWA had bipartisan support, advocates wanted to strengthen it with provisions they saw as essential to keeping all survivors of domestic violence safe. These additional protections were met with resistance in Congress. In advance of the 2012 presidential election, advocates sought to amend the legislation in ways that would strengthen the protections offered to Native Americans, undocumented immigrants, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) communities. In the last reauthorization battle, the ability of advocates to harness the medium, their networks, and their message provides a contemporary example of the social change matrix at work in the age of social media.

Migrant women victims of domestic violence might face a stark choice between leaving an abusive relationship and tolerating the abuses so that they can preserve their residence rights in the host country. EU law suffers from some major limitations in addressing this situation. In view of the EU ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women (‘the Istanbul Convention’), will the EU be required to take new measures in light of the demands imposed by Article 59 of the Istanbul Convention that addresses the residence rights of migrant women victims of violence? By clarifying these demands and juxtaposing them with the relevant EU law standards, this article shows the divergences and convergences between the two regional European legal orders. It also forwards concrete suggestions as to which EU rules might need to be modified.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the aspects of providing legal assistance to women victims of domestic violence in Ukraine. Due to our analysis, we have demonstrated that in Ukraine, legislative documents have been developed at the legislative level to prevent domestic violence and the observance of women’s rights, and forms of domestic violence have been identified (psychological, physical, sexual). The main standards of the regulatory framework of Ukraine are consistent with the Istanbul Convention. In practical work, law enforcement agencies interact with social services, medical institutions, forensic medical examinations and many others to provide timely, fullfledged assistance to women in cases of detected domestic violence, and in each case develop a system of measures to prevent, promote and prevent domestic violence. A positive aspect in the modern legislation of Ukraine was the establishment of restrictive measures for persons who committed domestic violence in the form of a ban on staying in a place of cohabitation with a person who suffered from domestic violence; prohibitions of approaching a place or person who has suffered from domestic violence, etc. Attention is drawn to the fact that for the first two violations, the person who committed domestic violence can be held administratively liable, and for the third time, criminal liability. Recommendations are given on conducting a forensic examination in cases of domestic violence against women, in which, in addition to the mandatory points reflected in the Rules for the Examination of Victims, Accused and Other Persons, aspects of an ethical approach are noted to reduce the psychological trauma of women during examination. It was emphasized that the issue of beatings, torment and torture falls within the competence of the bodies of pre-trial investigation/court and is not the competence of forensic medical examination.

Domestic violence is perceived as one of the most severe violations of human rights and gender inequality. It has negative psychological, social and economic impact on the victim. In seeking to combat violence of an intimate partner, laws against domestic violence were implemented in many European countries. Two countries, Lithuania and Georgia, are compared in the article. Even if they have different locations and patriarchal traditions, the common past of belonging to Soviet Union unites them.The article compares the political measures and their impact on the solution of the domestic violence problem. Even the laws criminalizing domestic violence were implemented in 2006 in Georgia and in 2011 in Lithuania. The problem of domestic violence remains a top issue in both countries. The amount of reported domestic violence events maintains a high level; however, the investigated cases level remains low. Still, a high level of unreported domestic violence cases remain in both countries. Insufficient shelters for women victims of violence remain a problem in both countries.

Court For Domestic violence is a new idea of the Integrated Criminal Justice System Handling Cases of Violence Against Women (SPPT- PKKTP) to provide justice to the victims of domestic violence, especially women. Given the complexity of issues related to domestic violence led to the need for this institution was formed. Act No. 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Violence Against Domestic generally can back up women in getting their legal rights, but the implementation of the Act turns instead of criminalizing women victims of violence, especially because law enforcement officials do not consider the relationship between husband, wife and children, in applying this Act. As a result, women victims of violence do not get their rights. Abstrak: Pengadilan Khusus KDRT. Pengadilan Khusus Kekerasaan Dalam Rumah Tangga merupakan sebuah gagasan baru dari Sistem Peradilan Pidana Terpadu Penanganan Kasus-Kasus Kekerasan Terhadap Perempuan (SPPTPKKTP) dalam memberikan keadilan kepada para korban kekerasan dalam rumah tangga khususnya perempuan. Adanya kompleksitas permasalahan terkait kekerasan dalam rumah tangga menyebabkan perlunya lembaga ini dibentuk. Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2004 tentang Penghapusan Kekerasan Terhadap Rumah Tangga yang secara umum dapat memback up kaum perempuan dalam mendapatkan hak-hak hukumnya, namun dalam implementasinya ternyata undang-undang tersebut justru mengkriminalisasi perempuan korban kekerasan, terutama karena aparat penegak hukum tidak mempertimbangkan hubungan antara suami, istri dan anak, dalam menerapkan undang-undang ini. Akibatnya, perempuan korban kekerasan tidak mendapatkan hak-haknya.  DOI: 10.15408/jch.v1i2.1471
