家庭暴力:从国际到国内的应对(上)

According to relevant international instruments,violence against women violates women’s human rights.Theoretically,there is no universal definition of the concept of “domestic violence”.Facts prove,however,that a broader definition is necessary so to cover different experience of survivors of domestic violence,and is useful and effective to prevent violence against women.With regard to theoretical exploration of causes of domestic violence,there are many diversified perspectives.It is worth to note that feminist research in this field has not only provided us with a theoretical framework for further analysis of causes of domestic violence,but also supplied a deconstruction approach for understanding social,cultural and legal responses that to a great extent,have perpetuated the occurrence of domestic violence.In respect of strategies combating domestic violence,there are mainly two strategies:one involves human rights strategy,the other,legal reform strategy.The two have their respective advantages and disadvantages.We should explore the possibility of a combined approach so to work for provision,protection,prosecution and prevention of crime of domestic violence.
