Excerpts of SLOVAKIA CEDAW Committee
Concluding Observations.
Principle Areas of Concern &
Recommendations
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN &
TRAFFICKING
21. The Committee urges the State
party to place high priority on the introduction of comprehensive and holistic
measures to address all forms of violence against women and in society. The
Committee calls upon the State party to ensure that such violence is prosecuted
and punished with the required seriousness and speed, and those women victims
of violence have immediate means of redress and protection. The Committee
requests the State party to ensure that legislation on violence against women
is specific and comprehensive with regard to women, encompassing all forms of
violence and in line with the Committee's General Recommendation 19. It further
recommends that measures be taken to provide shelters for women victims of
violence in sufficient numbers and with adequate standards, and to ensure that
public officials, especially law enforcement officials, the judiciary,
health-care providers and social workers, are fully sensitized to all forms of
violence against women. The Committee invites the State party to undertake
awareness-raising measures through the media and public education programs,
including a campaign of zero tolerance, to make such violence socially and
morally unacceptable, and to undertake a study on the root causes of homicides
resulting from domestic violence. The Committee also recommends that the State
party include in its legislation the prohibition of corporal punishment of
children in the home. The Committee requests the State party to provide detailed
information on the situation of trafficked women and girls in Slovakia in its
next periodic report, as well as on the results of measures taken.
