Especially close attention is paid to the aetiology of broadening the protection guaranteed by human rights, which both in the world and Europe was extended from public space onto the private sphere of individual persons. Moreover, what is discussed is the process of building social (civil) framework of the most important institutions related to the prevention of domestic violence in Poland. The author presents the manner of establishing and implementing elements creating the system of violence prevention at the state level. He utilises classical methods of analysis, known in the field of public policies study.
