ABSTRACT

In this article, I would like to cover a problem about domestic violence concerning women’s rights in Russia.
The murders which are committed as result of domestic violence make 28% of all premeditated murders and also 30% of women and girls who are more senior than 14 years suffered from the violence from the partners. As often the victims of domestic violence are held back the violence facts it is obviously possible to draw conclusions that actually these indicators are much higher.
The Russian Federation also does not avoid this global problem.
According to estimates of various experts and official statistics, only in 2015 more than 50 thousand criminal cases connected with violence cases in the family were brought. Every year in Russia thousands of people mostly children and women perish from it.
Unfortunately, on January 27, 2017, the State Duma accepted the bill of cancellation of criminal penalty for a family beating demonstrates the movement in the opposite direction from women’s legal protection. Decriminalization of domestic violence reduces the importance of this problem and sends to society the idea that violence in the family can be justified and admissible. Supporters of the law also insist: decriminalization of „easy“ forms of domestic violence will promote reconciliation in the family and will be coordinated with traditional family values of the Russian society and methods of education of children. Similar arguments are dangerous and testify a need for wide dissemination of information of harm which causes domestic violence.
Our investigation is based on statistic and analytical reviews and sociological surveys about the attitude of women to the decriminalization of domestic violence.

BIOGRAPHY

Let me introduce myself, my name is Stanislava, but my friends call me Stacy or Slava. I’m 18 years old and I’m Russian. I was born in Khabarovsk. It is located from the Chinese border at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri Rivers. But now I live in Moscow with my family. We decided to move to this beautiful city trying to find a better life.
I finished school in 2017. Now I am a second-year student at MGIMO University on a faculty Governance and Politics. Student life is really fascinating!
I really found interesting and adorable themes such as «Global Politics», «Political Science», «International Relations» and «Social Politics».
Moreover, I published two articles (historical one and another- Chinese-Russia in the informational sphere).
