DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THEIR IMPACT ON FAMILY LIFE
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THEIR IMPACT ON FAMILY LIFE

Summary/Abstract: In the last thirty years, domestic violence has been of particular political and social interest because within the family system social changes are understood as the evolution of individuals and can be correlated with the evolutionary tasks of the family group, understood as a system. There are two types of events related to the evolutionary tasks of the family group, understood as a system: predictable events (marriage, childbirth, etc.) and unpredictable events (separation, divorce, illness, death, etc.). Unpredictable events are those that lead to subsequent changes in the family group, with profound changes in socio economic status, and the difficulties generated by unpredictable events require the implementation of mechanisms for adaptation and problem solving. The protection order is considered an effective tool for the protection of victims of domestic violence, but also a remedy for other, collateral situations, such as violent behavior against children. Through this article, we will try to emphasize the fact that, in order to make the inter institutional mechanisms in the field of prevention of domestic violence more efficient, it is necessary to implement other measures, other than the temporary detachment, from the family system, of the parent with violent behavior.
