Violence within couples : legal treatment : review of progress and results

Binstock, Hanna

Violence within couples : legal treatment : review of progress and results - SantiagoCL UN 1998 - 46 p.

Examines the issue of violence within couples, as one of the forms that violence against women takes. Approaches the subject from a legal standpoint, consideration being given on one hand to the international and regional legal framework, and on the other hand to the emergence since 1989 of a number of special laws on family and domestic violence that aim to support the victim and punish the aggressor.
