| Title | Fighting Against Domestic Violence:How the Standards of Protection of CEDAW and Istanbul Convention Work in Violence Intervention Policies in Austria |
| Summary | This thesis provides an analysis of how international and regional standards of protection of women against violence work at the national level. The paper will particularly analyze the protection standards set by CEDAW and Istanbul Convention with regard to violence against women and domestic violence and will show how these standards are met in Austria and what are the existing gaps. The analysis is based on the texts of CEDAW and Istanbul Convention, and on the recommendations and concluding observations issued to Austria by the monitoring bodies of the treaties. The thesis aims to show that Austria has demonstrated a good practice in its response to domestic violence by applying the underlying principle of the standards set by CEDAW and Istanbul Convention in the national context, which is, ultimately, implementing a well-balanced protection, prevention and prosecution measures. The analysis illustrates that overall Austria’s protection mechanism against violence meets the requirements set out by CEDAW and Istanbul Convention, and is based on a well-balanced protection, prevention and prosecution measures. These measures are interdependent and work effectively only when combined together. The reports discussed in the paper draw attention to the existing gaps in the established protection mechanism in Austria, and recommend future research look at how those gaps can be filled in. |
