ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER REGULATORIES ON PREVENTING AND COMBATING VIOLENCE IN UKRAINE

Abstract

Some aspects of modern Ukrainian legislation on the issue of domestic violence are characterized. An analytical review of legislative and normative legal acts on the prevention and counteraction of violence in Ukraine was made. Emphasis is placed on the observance of gender equality. Directions for improving public morale and mechanisms for stricter accountability of officials who may reveal some manifestations of violence, in particular, bullying, are proposed. In the context of European integration, it is proposed to introduce the best advanced practices of interrogation of minors subjected to various types of violence. The need for stricter punishment of offenders was emphasized. It was emphasized that during the years of Ukraine's independence, powerful steps have been taken in the direction of overcoming the problem of domestic violence. Legislation undergoes appropriate changes, taking into account the requirements of the time. We must state that, despite the powerful legislative framework in the field of studying and preventing manifestations of domestic violence, this shameful phenomenon still occurs at the household level, because most victims sometimes do not even understand that they are under the influence of domestic violence, and secondly, they do not believe in the fact that they will receive real help, and offenders will not be deterred by overly lenient measures of punishment. The authors believe that it is necessary to further investigate how and at what level it is possible to instill in the consciousness of society what is really good and what is evil in the context of all types of violence. At the same time, it is advisable to focus special attention on gender equality. It was emphasized that society needs to pay special attention, because an important aspect of the work of relevant services and enterprises on the ground (in educational institutions, in institutions where IDPs work) is to establish an atmosphere of benevolence towards IDPs.
