THE FORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE RECENT JURISPRUDENCE OF THE ECHR

Summary/Abstract: The current article aims an analysis of the ECHR jurisprudence for the past years related to domestic violence against women and gender based violence. Also, this study has allowed me to differentiate between these three forms of violence, to characterize each of them and, related to the ECHR jurisprudence, to correlate them with the violence of certain fundamental rights. Thus, for the cases subjected to study, the Court has as certained a violation of the obligation of Member States either regarding Art 8 (the right to family), or for the cases of domestic violation, a violation of the rights stated by Art 2 (the right to life) and Art 3 (the right to not be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatments or torture) for the cases of violence against women, as well as for the noncompliance with all these rights together with the right stated by Art 14 (the right to not be subjected to any form of discrimination), for gender based violence.
