"State Responses to Domestic Violence Current Status and Needed Improvements”

In 2004 we re-printed a book “State Responses to Domestic Violence Current Status and Needed Improvements” in Georgian language, which became a handbook for NGO’s working on Awareness of Domestic Violence among regional health care providers and creation education and health consulting center.

The book provides recommendations for the measures, ways and means of elimination of violence against women and its cases at national, regional and international level. Also it is intended to serve as a resource for both governmental and NGOs around the world to use in advocating specific changes in the treatment of domestic violence within their country‘s legal system. In addition to outlining the international human rights instruments that support the obligation to adopt domestic violence legislation, the book includes direct input of women working in the field of the domestic violence worldwide, and as such provides an important vehicle for women’s voice to be heard at the highest level of UN system.
