Analysing Various Dimensions, Policies Related To Domestic Violence And Its Acknowledgement Globally

Abstract

   Domestic violence is one of the kinds of heinous crime present across the globe. It’s dynamism and vastness making it more crucial to intervene, acknowledge and at the same time provide remedial measures within a stipulated time. From the time of history, we came across various forms of abusive behavior against women, but firstly, it was not acknowledged on time, secondly very few actions were taken up, thirdly delays in justice which makes of course no sense at all. Now, in the time of digital era, many things have changed. There are fast track courts, portals for complain online, women helpline number etc. All these are created towards providing justice to women but if we see ground reality there are thousands of pending cases, harassments in police stations, delay in lodging FIRs, lack of sensitivity, makes all these efforts null and void. This study tends to analyze different aspects and dimensions of domestic violence and efforts taken nationally and internationally to provide fair treatment to this section of the society and help them to live a dignified life.

Key Words- Domestic violence, abusive, digital era, fast track courts.
