Tajikistan: Making the law on domestic violence a reality for women

The NGO “Nasl” in cooperation with the Center of Human Rights in Sohgd area conducts the trainings aimed at increasing knowledge on the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence. The trainings  are addressed to the representatives of local authorities as well as the medical workers, police and teachers who are obliged to report whenever they witness or suspect violence against women or girls. The participants of the trainings learned about the law itself and how to use it in practice to prevent the acts of violence and to effectively help the women victims of violence.

The Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence was adopted in December 2012 by the Parliament of the Republic of Tajikistan. However, there is still a lot to be done to make this law a reality for all of Tajikistan’s women.
