Summary/Abstract: Despite of number of efforts carried out in the country for combating violence against women and/or domestic violence, the degree of use of the mechanisms provided for by law for combating violence and protecting the victims remains low and needs to be immediately addressed. For instance, the mechanisms of social service and preventive mechanisms provided for by the legislation fail, so far, to be very effective. The mechanisms of monitoring the restraint and protection orders issued and relating response fail to operate in a systematic manner. In certain cases, the number of places in shelters/ crisis centres is insufficient (the number of shelters/crisis centres themselves is not enough; their uneven and scarce geographical location poses some challenges as well).
