Resumen (en)

This article provides a comparative analysis of law enforcement’s approach to domestic violence in Ukraine and Colombia, two countries with vast cultural and demographical differences. Drawing upon an extensive review of existing literature and empirical research, the study delves into the various ways in which law enforcement can play a part in the restoration of fundamental rights for victims, shedding light on its underlying factors of systematicity and non bis in idem, and the interplay of individual, legal, and societal influences. It begins by defining domestic violence and identifying how, from a legal standpoint, both countries have addressed the physical, emotional, sexual, and economic abuse suffered by victims of domestic violence. The article discusses potential solutions and emphasizes the importance of implementing relevant international and regional instruments. Overall, it aims to deepen the understanding of domestic violence in Ukraine and Colombia by synthesizing existing research, highlighting the complex dynamics involved, and exploring strategies for prevention and intervention by law enforcement. By raising awareness and fostering a comprehensive approach, it contributes to the collective efforts intended to eradicate domestic violence and create a safer and more equitable society for all.
