JUSTICE SECTOR RESPONSE TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE LIGHT OF THE UNITED NATIONS ACTIVITIES BM

Kadına karşı şiddetin, dünyadaki en yaygın insan hakkı ihlali olduğu konusunda genel bir görüş birliği vardır. Bu türden bir suç, kadının konumunun güçlendirilmesi üzerinde yıldırıcı bir etkiye sahiptir. Uluslararası kabul görmüş kurallar, kadının şiddetten uzak yaşama hakkı konusunda devletleri doğrudan sorumlu tutmaktadır. Bu makalede, Birleşmiş Milletler aktörlerince kadınların gelişimi konusunda kaydedilen gelişmelerin yanında kadınların karşılaştığı temel sıkıntılar incelenecektir. Kesişen sektörlerle ilintili olarak, ceza adaleti sistemlerinin gelişiminin, kadınlar için güvenli bir ortam kurulmasında çok önemli olduğunun vurgulanması gerekir. Mevcut çalış- ma, yargı kurumlarının en kronik başarısızlıklarının sonuçları ile adli rehabilitasyon faaliyetlerinin, kadınların hukuki olarak güçlendirilmesindeki etkisi üzerinde yoğunlaşmaktadır. Adalet bileşenlerinin reforma tabi tutulmasının ve haritalama (planlama) çalışmasının potensiyel katkısı da tartışılacaktır.

There is a widespread consensus that violence against women is the most pervasive infringement of human rights across the world. Such crime has a discouraging impact on reinforcing the position of women. Internationally recognized norms put directly States in charge of the promotion of women s right to live free from violence. The challenges faced by women, along with the achievements made through the UN actors for the advancement of women is analyzed in this article. In connection with cross-cutting sectors, it must be stressed that the improvement of criminal justice systems is of paramount importance in establishing safe environments for women. The present study basically focuses on the output of the most chronic failures of judiciaries and immediate impact of the judicial rehabilitation activities in the legal empowerment of women. The potential contribution of mapping and reforming justice components to the protection of women are also discussed.
