| description | The subject of this paper is domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic
in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This paper aims to determine the type and scope
of sanctions in Bosnia and Herzegovina for domestic violence before and
during the pandemic, patterns of victimization during the COVID-19 pandemic,
and to determine and compare data on the scope of domestic violence before
and during the pandemic. The data was collected from the state institutions
and non-governmental organizations that provide assistance and protection to
victims of violence. The most commonly imposed sanction for domestic
violence was a suspended sentence. During the pandemic, combined forms of
violence were most commonly reported, with various manifestations of
physical, psychological, or economic violence, even femicide. The crisis has
led to an increase in the scope of violence in families where dysfunctional
relationships were previously recorded, but also to the appearance of the
first forms of violence in families where violence had not occurred before.
There has been a significant increase in violence reported to NGOs, and
these figures do not match those of the state institutions. |
