الحماية الجنائية للمرأة من العنف : دراسة في التشريعات الأردنية و الاتفاقيات الدولية

Abstract EN

This paper addresses the foundations of criminal protec-tion of women against crimes of violence at the local and inter-national levels.

Following a comparative descriptive approach, this paper highlights the conceptual framework of violence against women, its most important causes and forms, empha-sizing the most important legislative and preventive means of combating crimes of violence against women.

In this paper, the researcher also seeks to create an applicable legal frame-work at the international and national levels, to enable deci-sion-makers to address this phenomenon and limit its spread in all its forms and types.

The study concludes that shortcom-ings are present in the means of protection of women at the international level; this is due to the lack of agreement on an inclusive definition of the phenomenon Internationally.

In ad-dition, the Jordanian legislation have failed to address crimes of violence against women.

This is due to the fact that the Jor-danian excluded certain types of communal violence from the legislative means.

Moreover, a constitutional framework that guarantees the substantive equality of women and men to pre-vent violence against women has not been developed.

The researcher recommends the need to promote a cul-ture of non-violence against women in different groups of so-ciety by conducting further legal studies on the protection of women against the threat of this phenomenon
