The Ministry of Internal Affairs continues to pursue strict criminal law policy on domestic violence and violence against women. Over the past three months, the Ministry has arrested more than 800 individuals on domestic violence and issued more than 1400 restraining orders. The fight against domestic violence and violence against women is one of the priorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In this direction, the Ministry will continue to carry out strict policy on each fact of violence, but effective implementation of this policy will be impossible if the strict policy will not be implemented by all relevant state agencies.
