Prospects And Challenges of Women's Right Against Domestic Violence Under International Law

Abstract

In addition to being a violation of human rights, domestic violence against women and girls has been seen as the most extreme example of gender inequality. Due to its widespread nature, the consequences for children, families, and communities, as well as the significant economic costs to society, it has been recognized as a violation of human rights under international law. Numerous international legal instruments were adopted and ratified to assure women’s protection from domestic violence. The study looked at domestic abuse’s status as a human rights violation under these treaties. It was found that victims of domestic violence in the family now have a chance to enforce their rights because it is recognized as a violation of their human rights. However, because these tools are not legally binding, victims find it difficult to rely on them. Therefore, we are unable to coerce state compliance. As a result, it is recommended that instruments of international law have a single standard that has the legal power and is applied to all parties who violate them on a global scale.
