Summary/Abstract: Violence is a general violation of human rights - the right to life, security, dignity and physical and mental integrity. Violence manifests itself in various forms, and many people suffer from it not only in public places, but also in their families. In 1996, the 49th World Health Assembly adopted a resolution recognizing that violence is an important and growing public health problem worldwide. In the context of violence, including domestic violence, one of the most important legislative acts is the Istanbul Convention, the first European law to create a comprehensive legal framework to protect individuals, especially women and girls, from all forms of violence, including domestic violence.
