This article focuses on gender-based violence and the legal strategies to prevent it in Ukraine and globally. Gender-based violence affects both men and women and includes physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. The article explores the root causes and types of gender-based violence, including sexual harassment and control over reproductive choices. It discusses legal methods like administrative and criminal liability to address this issue, emphasizing that gender-based crimes violate international law. The article also highlights that men can be victims of economic and psychological violence while women and children are primarily victims of sexual and physical violence. The effective prevention of gender-based violence requires strong cooperation between law enforcement and the criminal justice system. The article argues that a noninterventionist approach by states is detrimental to the rule of law and societal well-being. Overall, addressing domestic violence is a crucial problem and the effectiveness of prevention measures by law enforcement is essential.
