الحماية الجنائية للمرأة من العنف: دراسة في التشريعات الأردنية والاتفاقيات الدولية

Abstract

This paper addresses the principles of criminal protection for women against crimes of violence at the local and international levels. Following a comparative descriptive approach, this paper highlights the conceptual framework of violence against women, its most important causes and forms, emphasizing the most important legislative and preventive means of combating crimes of violence against women. This paper also sheds light on the most important problems and obstacles to accessing effective means to combat and reduce the spread of violence against women. In this paper, the researcher also seeks to find a valid legal framework for application at the international and national levels, to enable decision-makers to address this phenomenon and limit its spread in all its forms and types. The study concludes that there are shortcomings in the means of protection for women at the international level; this is due to ,the lack of agreement on an inclusive definition of the phenomenon internationally, in addition to the shortcomings in the legislative treatment of crimes of violence against women in Jordanian legislation, because the Jordanian legislature fails to include certain types of societal violence within the legislative means, and does not develop a constitutional framework that guarantees the substantive equality of women with men in a way that prohibits violence against them. In this study, the researcher recommends the need to promote a culture of renouncing of violence against women in various groups of society through the expanding legal studies on the protection of women against the threat of this phenomenon.
