Domestic violence legislation under European and international law
Krajíčková, Sabina ; Svobodová, Magdaléna (referee)
Domestic violence legislation under European and international law Abstract This dissertation sets out to analyse domestic violence legislation both from an international legal perspective and, above all, from the perspective of relevant European law. By analysing this legislation, we will then evaluate whether the regulations currently in force are sufficient and actually offer effective tools to protect victims of violence. As the victims of domestic violence are mostly women, the first chapter focuses on the issue of violence against women, with particular focus on the specifics of gender-based violence and its manifestations, in particular sexual violence. In doing so, we will analyse how the affirmative consent principle is applied, as well as examining the matter of sex-based killings (femicide). For this purpose, this dissertation will pick up on the results of a data survey on violence against women in individual Member States, entitled Violence against women: an EU- wide survey, which was carried out in 2012 by the Human Rights Agency. Particular emphasis is placed on the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women (the Istanbul Convention), including a description of its ratification status and insight into some of its provisions which are proving rather...

The Issue of Domestic Violence in connection with the act (number ) 135/2006
STŘELCOVÁ, Hana
Domestic violence has been an urgent problem also in the Czech Republic. The necessity to solve its complexity upon level of the state, not only through non governmental, non-profit-making institutions, is especially expressed by adopting Act No.135/2006 Collection of Laws, by which some acts in scope of domestic violence protection are amended. This Act allows the Police of the Czech Republic to banish an offender committing domestic violence from mutual residence for a period of 10 days and the Act has established a new social service the so called ``Intervention Centre{\crq}q, i.e. a specialized facility that provides help with people who are endangered by domestic violence. The objective was to find out the level of public awareness, knowledge of the Intervention Centres in the Moravia-Silesian and Pilsen Regions. Within the first year of that Act operating, there were the least banished offenders v. s. number of inhabitants, just in the Pilsen Region and there were the most ones in the Moravia-Silesian Region. The theoretical work part describes forms of violence in the family, historical relationship of violent actions with women, possibilities how to prevent them or advised help measures to victims of domestic violence. Further, it is focussed on a legislative solution of that problem area in the Czech Republic and some of European countries or the USA as well. The practical work part involves results of a quantity research that was aimed to discovery of public awareness of the Intervention Centres. The research was performed by method of questioning in a way of a questionnaire. The research was focussed on consciousness of general public relating to domestic violence, whether the research respondents have ever met that phenomenon or what is their opinion on information effectiveness of the problem area. The research demonstrated low awareness of the Intervention Centres of inhabitants in both regions. However, most respondents know what domestic violence is. Nearly one third of interviewees have got certain experience with domestic violence. Majority of respondents consider the information on the Intervention Centres and domestic violence as generally useful. This work may be used to increase public awareness of the Intervention Centres or on the other side to provide the Intervention Centres employees with general public{\crq}s reflection as to availability and activity of the Intervention Centres.
