| Title | Domestic Violence of Women in Hungary |
| Summary | Gender violence threatens the well-being of men and women all over the world. Additionally, women and girls suffer the most from gender violence. One of the biggest threats that women face is violence within the home. Even in, what people believe to be, well-developed countries domestic violence still lurks within the private walls of homes. In Hungary, there is an inadequate status report of domestic violence and police response. The statistics of battered women, homicides, and poor intervention by authorities creates concern for Eastern European countries like Hungary. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the issue of domestic violence of women in the state of Hungary. This analysis aims to evaluate Hungary’s actions and obligations as a country, and whether or not Hungary meets international standards in the field of violence against women. In order to have a well-rounded study of the question in point, the study will also look at Germany’s legal framework and police actions in reference to domestic violence. It is important to keep an open discussion about gender violence in order to improve on reducing the risks that women face daily. In an effort to draw attention to changes that countries need to make to combat domestic violence against women, the following academic work focuses on international standards, national legal frameworks, police action, societal views, and even gender politics. The ultimate aim is to find most effective route in the attempts to reduce the harms of domestic violence of women. |
