And learn about the measures taken by Kuwait and the United States of America to confront domestic violence against women and children.

And to identify the shortcomings in the procedures and measures taken by the states of Kuwait and the United States of America to confront domestic violence against women and children.

The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach, through its presentation, analysis and comparison of legal provisions and texts related to the issue of domestic violence against women and children in the Kuwaiti and American systems.

The most important results of the study were: crimes of domestic violence have increased recently due to social, cultural and economic changes, and the Corona pandemic.

Many countries of the world have taken measures to reduce domestic violence in order to protect women and children, and laws and regulations have been put in place for this.

The State of Kuwait rejected everything related to forms of violence, and allocated articles to it that explicitly referred to domestic violence in certain articles, and the resulting harm to the human soul.

The most important recommendations were: Work to remove the loopholes in the Kuwaiti Family Violence Protection Law, as the law did not include former partners or those who had relations outside of marriage, such as fiancés or those in informal marriages.

And take advantage of the laws that dealt with the issue of protection from domestic violence in other countries in accordance with Islamic law and the customs and traditions of Arab society.
