Transposing the Istanbul Convention Preventions into Romanian Legislation. Good Practice Examples in the Implementation of Public Policies in the DV and EO Field
Keywords:
domestic violence; Empowerment; shared policiesAbstract
The Istanbul Convention represents an illustrative international treaty for human rights with its main
purpose of protecting women against all kinds of violence. Through its provisions, the convention contributes
to elimination of all forms of discrimination and promotion of equal opportunities between women and men by
empowering women. The Istanbul Convention is a mixed act (shared policies), which means that a part of its
provisions is of national competence and others are of EU competence. Our objective is to emphasize the
measures Romania has taken in the process of harmonizing the national legislation with the Convention
provisions, especially by underlining the examples of good practice of this activity, the results of which are
recognized at an international level.
