За българския закон за защита от домашно насилие и Истанбулската конвенция - психорлогични размисли
About the Bulgarian law on protection against domestic violence and the Istanbul convention – psychological reflections

Summary/Abstract: My personal motivation to write this article was a consequence of the “heated discussion” on the occasion of the Istanbul Convention. During the working period it became clear to me the need to include Bulgarian low of protection against domestic violence as well. My analysis is a psychological one, in some places – linguistic, but for sure not a legal one, a field in which I am not qualified. In both documents there are no specific texts that defend children and men as victims of domestic violence compared to many texts specifically dedicated to the protection of women from domestic violence. In my opinion, this violates the equality of citizens according to the Bulgarian Constitution, which are guaranteed regardless of gender, age, ethnicity and religion. In conclusion I suggest a serious information campaign то be held, in which mass media to play a significant role followed by public opinion polling and a new parliamentary debate and voting on the Istanbul Convention.
