Violence against women in Slovenia. Lessons to be learned from the victims of domestic violence.

Abstract

This article focuses on the theme of violence against women in the home and tackles the dilemma of how, despite the development of measures to address domestic violence in Slovenia and at EU level, women continue to under-report this crime, primarily due to their distrust of institutions and their ability to protect them. Based on comparative research, a number of concrete recommendations on how this situation might be addressed by social work and within social policy are made.
