Ways against domestic violence in Ukraine

Abstract

The problem of domestic violence is not new, it has existed since the beginning of humanity, from the beginning of the emergence of communities and concepts of family customs. But the fact that today some countries have learned to adequately deal with this problem, and some are still silent about it, does not mean that the problem does not exist at all. The passage of a new law on preventing and combating domestic violence in 2018 is a significant change for the better, but in order for it to work in full, much effort must be made by the entire population of the country. And this is so, because the whole population of the country from small to older must work in the right direction so that this problem is not so urgent and global. According to the new Law, "Domestic Violence" means all acts of physical, sexual, psychological or economic violence committed between a former or current spouse or people who live or have lived together. The law stipulates that the perpetrator will be prohibited from calling and corresponding with the victim or approaching him for a certain
distance. If incidents of marriage were previously considered domestic violence, now the circle of people is expanding. If incidents of marriage were previously considered domestic violence, now the circle of people is expanding. It now includes ex-spouses, civil marriages (cohabitation without registration). Extended range of persons recognized as perpetrators: foster parents, persons living or living together in the same family, siblings, guardians and other relatives - uncle, aunt, nieces, cousins, sisters, grandparents.
