In this article, we will explore important topics such as preventing domestic violence, Law No. 6284, legal processes, and legal support.

What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is a broad concept encompassing not only physical assaults but also psychological, economic, sexual, and emotional abuse. Under Law No. 6284 on the Protection of the Family and the Prevention of Violence Against Women, violence can occur not only between spouses but also between other family members, relatives, and roommates living in the same household. Violence can manifest itself in a wide range of ways, from physical assault to insults, threats, economic pressure, and sexual abuse.

Types and Effects of Violence

Different types of violence can have profound and long-lasting effects on victims. Here are some common types of violence:

• Physical Violence: It is any act of violence that involves physical contact, from slapping to injury.
• Psychological Violence: It includes behaviors such as humiliation, insults, constant criticism, and threats.
• Economic Violence: It includes situations such as controlling the family's income, preventing the woman from working, or not giving money.
• Sexual Violence: It covers situations such as forced sexual intercourse, damage to genitals, unwanted pregnancies and births.
• Emotional Violence: It includes behaviors such as jealousy, controlling, and preventing others from seeing each other.

This type of violence can negatively impact not only the victim's psychological well-being but also that of children. Children who experience violence are perceived as victims, which can profoundly impact their future lives.

Law No. 6284 and Legal Protection

Law No. 6284 on the Protection of the Family and the Prevention of Violence Against Women aims to protect victims of violence. This law offers various legal protections for those subjected to violence:

• Preventive Measures: These are measures aimed at preventing violence from occurring. They include support such as providing shelter, financial support, and daycare facilities.
• Protective Measures: These are measures aimed at preventing the recurrence of violence. They include measures such as removal from the home, avoidance of contact, and electronic bracelets.
• Alimony: Providing financial support to victims of violence and their children.
• Privacy Policy: The victim's identity is kept confidential and his/her security is ensured.

Under this law, anyone subjected to violence can apply to provincial social services directorates, courts, public prosecutors' offices, women's branches of bar associations, police stations, gendarmerie, municipal women's counseling centers, and civil society organizations. These institutions are obligated to provide legal, psychological, and social support to victims of violence. Furthermore, public institutions and organizations are obligated to report cases of violence.

How Does the Legal Process Work?

When you are subjected to violence, you can follow these steps:

1. Application: Contact the nearest competent authority listed above. In your application, describe the violence you experienced in detail.
2. Precautionary Decisions: Upon your application, the court or provincial authorities will decide on preventive and protective measures.
3. Alimony Request: Request child support for the victim of violence and their children.
4. Get Support: Take advantage of opportunities such as legal counseling, psychological support and social services.

Remember, you don't have to pay any fees to implement decisions made under Law No. 6284. This law aims to protect victims of violence, and all public institutions are obligated to cooperate in this matter.
