PREVENTING AND COMBATING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE UNDER MARITAL LAW: CHALLENGES AND PROBLEM SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The full-scale invasion of the troops of the aggressor country on the territory of Ukraine does not stop the commission of crimes that were widespread in our country in peacetime. Yes, one of these offenses is domestic violence, which is such a phenomenon that during the period of martial law can only worsen and at the same time remain invisible. The article analyzes the specifics and actual aspects of preventing and countering the perpetration of domestic violence in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law. We carried out a study of legal acts that regulate the norms of combating domestic violence, as well as an analysis of the current changes in the national legislation of Ukraine, which came into force after the introduction of the legal regime of martial law. In addition, this article drew attention to possible ways of improving the currently available means and methods of preventing and countering domestic violence, as well as drawing attention to the entities authorized to carry out such activities. In particular, the article determined that domestic violence in Ukraine during the legal regime of martial law has not lost its significance and the problem has become widespread in society, in today’s conditions. Regarding the ways and means of preventing and preventing the commission of domestic violence in the conditions of martial law, it is determined that it is appropriate to hold regular preventive discussions with families who survived and left the temporarily occupied territories: families who lost close relatives; families in which close relatives are in the military, etc. That is, during martial law, it is quite important that general and specialized support services for victims take appropriate preventive measures to prevent domestic violence.
