Abstract

Gender-based violence, although a broad concept that can affect everyone equally, regardless of gender and age, still hits women and girls hardest, making them the most common victims in the world. The violence usually comes from an acquaintance, an intimate partner, that is, someone whom the woman previously knew and trusted. Gender violence, from a criminological point of view, has several emerging forms, as well as factors that lead to its emergence.
The subject of this paper is a review of the efforts made by the Republic of Macedonia for greater success in the fight against gender-based violence, primarily through the implementation of good international and European practices and documents. Gender-based violence as a global problem requires a global approach. Adopting domestic acts that will satisfy the recommendations of international entities in this direction is only the first step towards a successful fight against this phenomenon. The implementation and harmonization of the practice with the world and European trends is what is particularly problematic and the detailed consideration of which will be approached in this paper.
By presenting cases from the Republic of North Macedonia, the way the law enforcement authorities treated them before and now, we will determine if there is a shift in this point. Through an in-depth analysis, the article aims to provide insights into the specific challenges that North Macedonia in facing. It will explore initiatives, policies, and community-driven efforts that contribute to breaking the chains of violence and fostering a culture of respect and equality.
This paper will give a critical review of the compliance of the domestic legal framework with European and international trends and a critical review of the needs for improvement at the national level, through statistics and quality of solutions.
