Abstract

This study examines the legal status of women within criminal legislation, both public and private, with particular focus on the adequacy of such provisions in addressing and reducing the phenomenon of violence against women in society. As a vulnerable group, women are disproportionately exposed to various forms of violence, which necessitates effective legal protection. The study analyzes the criminal treatment afforded to women, whether substantive or procedural, in order to assess the extent to which these legal provisions succeed in providing real protection and reducing violence. By evaluating the effectiveness of existing criminal legislation, this research highlights the need for stronger safeguards that ensure womens rights and security within the legal framework.
