Domestic Violence against Women and European Human Rights Law

Domestic violence against women is a significant issue often overlooked by public authorities, exacerbated by dismissive attitudes, particularly within male-dominated local security forces. Many cases go unreported due to fear of retaliation against victims or their children. This underreporting necessitates heightened vigilance and sensitivity from authorities to effectively address and mitigate threats faced by women in these situations. The essay emphasizes the importance of awareness and proactive measures in combating this pervasive problem.
