Kazakhstan
Not everyone was
in favor, but I insisted - Tokayev on the new law “To admit, not everyone, especially
representatives of the law enforcement unit, were in favor of criminalizing
domestic violence”.
It was suggested that the basic norms and initiatives in this area are
already in force and that some government agencies, as well as the conservative
part of society, will oppose such a law. But I still insisted that it was
necessary to strengthen the fight against this shameful phenomenon by legal
means, namely by legal means. This is my principled position,” the Head of State
stressed. In April of this year, the President signed a law on ensuring women’s
rights and child safety, which strengthens criminal liability for domestic
violence. The amendments are put into effect in two weeks. “I am convinced that
the new norms will make an important contribution to the modernization of our
society, to strengthening the institution of the family. After all, the
comprehensive protection of the rights of women and children does not
contradict the preservation of traditional family values and, on the contrary,
contributes to their strengthening. The role of a mother in the upbringing of a
citizen of her country is invaluable. Only a society in which a woman is valued
and respected can be considered truly civilized and cultured. Of course, it is
clear that not all problems can be solved by adopting or tightening the law.
First of all, everyone should start making changes for the better with
themselves. Family values should be established in every home. It is thanks to
such simple things that a new quality of the nation is being formed,” concluded
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
