Abstract

Abstract
The family union consisted of a man and a woman, relatives, children very often is
turned into community which is dominated by domestic abuser. Therefore, he/she usually
recalls on the ancient role of pater familias and has his/her victims under subordination. Our
society is distinctly patriarchal model which is accepted by families who are often community
of members with unequal rights and responsibilities. The actualization of “domestic violence”
began with series of activities of the non-governmental sector in 1994 and implementation
in the corpus of positive legislation. This research paper examines the legal framework for
protection of victims from a civil law perspective provided by the Law on Prevention and
Protection from Domestic Violence with application until 5.05.2021 and the introduction
of urgent and temporary measures in the Law on Prevention and Protection from Violence
against Women and Domestic Violence, which entered into force on 4.02.2021 and has been
postponed until 5.05.2021. Likewise, the study of the need to introduce urgent and temporary
measures is necessary to reduce, prevent and protect victims of domestic violence. According
to the current situation with Covid, the crisis inevitably necessitated an examination of the
reasons for the increase in the number of domestic violence caused by the consequences
of Covid 19 and the need to strengthen measures for protection and access to justice for
victims. Furthermore, that is reason of the adoption of the Law on Prevention and Protection
from Violence against Women and Domestic Violence means compliance with international
standards.
