LAW ON FIGHTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE REDRAFTED

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A working group has completed redrafting of the law on fighting against domestic violence. The law on fighting against domestic violence was approved by the State Great Khural (parliament). However, the law has been criticized for leaving out the victim protection and court decision implementation clauses. Recent several widely condemned incidents of domestic violence have sharpened the demand for newly drafted law on domestic violence, as nongovernmental organizations and civil societies in the nation have repeatedly reminded the relevant authorities the need of law changes. The redraft of the law will be submitted to the parliament next week, after consideration by the cabinet of the Government.
