Expert Usen Suleyman commented on the signing of the law on the criminalization of domestic violence.
The changes in the legislation were positively received.
On April 15, the President signed laws aimed at ensuring the protection of women's rights and the safety of children. Expert, scientist and diplomat Usen Suleyman expressed his opinion on this, reports Qaz365.kz .
According to him, such a rapid signing of the law is due not only to the high-profile murder of the wife of the ex-Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, but also to numerous publications on social networks demanding the criminalization of domestic violence, justice marches and other manifestations of the activation of civil society.
It is worth noting that since coming to power in 2019, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has paid special attention to the protection of women and children, combating domestic violence, raising the status of women in society, etc. Since 2021, the number of units for the protection of women from violence has been increased in the Interior Ministry system," Usen Suleyman said.
He also stressed that the new law and amendments are aimed at improving state family policy, strengthening the protection of rights and tightening criminal and administrative responsibility for violating the safety of women and children, as well as preventing domestic violence.
The changes in legislation were positively received not only within the country, but also by the international community, being an instantaneous reaction of the authorities in response to high-profile events.
“The Representative Office of the European Union in Kazakhstan noted that the measures taken are a great step and an inspiring example of the mobilization of civil society. The U.S. Embassy in Kazakhstan also welcomes the adoption of the new law, noting that the prevalence of domestic violence affects all countries, societies and social groups,” Usen Suleyman said.
