Domestic Violence And Human Rights

Abstract

   Domestic violence is a global problem. It deprives a woman of her human dignity and lowers her value as an individual. As a result, there has been a serious violation of human rights. Domestic violence is an ongoing pattern of aggressive behavior that prevents women from participating fully in both private and public life. Furthermore, it is bad for a woman's sexual, mental, emotional, and physical health. Nations all across the world are thus creating legal strategies to counter the danger, independent of their social, economic, or political circumstances. Despite being distinct concerns, domestic violence and human rights are closely related and negatively impact one another. Domestic violence was seldom studied before a few years ago, and it was only thought to be a problem when a husband and wife were experiencing marital issues. Domestic violence is now generally acknowledged as a serious issue concerning gender and human rights because of the engagement of governments and international organizations like the UN. It takes a dedicated effort to increase awareness of it among individuals and organizations. Nations should place as much focus on successful implementation as they do on creating laws and regulations in this area. The paper commences by introducing the concepts of human rights, domestic violence, and key participants. The paper largely focuses on a variety of domestic abuse issues, UN human rights resources, and legislative protections put in place by some countries to address domestic violence. The report's conclusion briefly covers the situation and the role played by Indian civil society groups.
