Domestic violence is a universal phenomenon that does not choose society, individuals. At the opposite pole of harmonious relations between members of a family, where human rights and freedoms should exist, is domestic violence. Domestic violence against women differs from other forms of violence because both the perpetrator and the victim are members of the same family. The aggressor consolidates his power by dominating and discriminating against the victim. The problem is that the aggressor is a family member, which shows an obvious asymmetry between the proportions of acts of violence committed against women (in most cases). Therefore, the family aggressor should be held criminally liable for acts of domestic violence from a younger age, and the penalty should be much more severe than in the case of a simple misdemeanor.
