Problems of Implementation of the Provisions of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence in Ukraine’s Legislation

Resumen

El Convenio del Consejo de Europa sobre prevención y lucha contra la violencia hacia las mujeres y la violencia
doméstica es un importante instrumento internacional destinado a prevenir y abordar la violencia contra las
mujeres y la violencia doméstica. Ucrania, al igual que otros miembros de la Convención, sigue enfrentando desafíos científicos y prácticos básicos al implementar sus disposiciones en la legislación nacional en asuntos relacionados con la violencia doméstica. Este artículo identifica algunas de las dificultades e impedimentos que
afectan las leyes nacionales de Ucrania, lo que dificulta su confirmación con la prescripción internacional. Ucrania sigue enfrentándose a aspectos de concienciación y comprensión entre las partes interesadas pertinentes, financiación insuficiente, resistencia de ciertos segmentos de la sociedad y deficiencias en el marco jurídico existente para abordar la violencia contra las mujeres y la violencia doméstica. El artículo concluye con recomendaciones para abordar estos desafíos, enfatizando la importancia de crear conciencia, garantizar una financiación adecuada, involucrar a los segmentos resistentes de la sociedad y fortalecer el marco legal. Es necesario continuar con los esfuerzos para implementar plenamente la Convención y prevenir la violencia contra las mujeres y la violencia doméstica en Ucrania.
