Legislative measures on violence against women. From international to Romanian law
Journal Title: Sociology and Social Work Review - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The global dimension of violence against women is alarming, as it is evidenced by the studies of the incidence and prevalence of the violence against women. It is present in all countries, crossing barriers of culture, class, education, income, ethnicity and even age. Even though most societies condemn violence against women, in reality violation of women is often hidden under the garb of cultural practices and norms as wrong interpretation of religious tenets. Currently, there are numerous international and regional mechanisms which are intended to guide us through the efforts of preventing and combating the violence against women. Furthermore, there is also a tendency toward a paradigm alteration, which recognizes that violence against women is not a problem regarding only vulnerability of women or deflective men's actions and also is not only a characteristic of primitive cultures. Instead, the problem is understood to be rooted, even if in various forms, in a universal patriarchal culture that exist in our conscience, men and women, and in the values and the basic institutions of our society. This common legacy underlies of the various ways in which women experience the violation of their rights. Consequently, the common elements of some specific manifestations of violence against women as well as the global connectivity of the various patterns of the local feminist movements were put into motion in order to achieve a culture universalization for women's rights. Therefore, this paper presents the main legislative measures taken at national and international level to prevent and combat violence against women.
