\u201cWith this reformulation, criminal prosecution upon proposal is abolished in cases where the offence is committed as gender-based violence, violence against women, domestic violence, a hate crime, or against persons who are particularly vulnerable due to age, physical or mental disability, or pregnancy. In such cases, this form of criminal offence will be prosecuted ex officio, in accordance with the provisions of the Istanbul Convention,\u201d the Ministry stated.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Justice expects that this reform will contribute to increasing the accountability of perpetrators and encouraging victims to seek help, leading to an overall improvement in the situation regarding domestic violence in the country.<\/p>\n
As part of the amendments, the introduction of a new criminal offence into the Criminal Code has also been adopted: The misuse of photographs, videos, audio recordings, or written materials with sexually explicit content, without the consent of the person concerned.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBased on the identified misuse of privacy and the legal gaps observed in the existing provisions of the Criminal Code during their application in practice, it was assessed as necessary to introduce a new criminal offence, namely the criminalisation of the \u2018Misuse of recordings, photographs, audio recordings, or writings with sexually explicit content\u2019. With this criminal offence, privacy is defined as the protected legal interest, while the act of perpetration consists of making available to third parties a video or other type of recording, photograph, audio recording, or written material with sexually explicit content, without the consent of the person to whom the material refers, that is, without the consent of the person depicted in the recording or photograph, or whose voice is recorded in the audio recording,\u201d the text of the new legal amendments states.<\/p>\n We recall that, according to the Istanbul Convention, \u2018violence against women\u2019 is understood as a violation of human rights and a form of discrimination against women. It encompasses all acts of gender-based violence that result in, or are likely to result in, physical, sexual, psychological, or economic harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion, or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life.<\/p>\n Tashm\u00eb nuk do t\u00eb jet\u00eb i domosdosh\u00ebm propozimi i viktim\u00ebs p\u00ebr ndjekje penale n\u00eb rastet e dhun\u00ebs n\u00eb familje.
